Const.: GC 34, Decree 4: “Our Mission and Culture”, par. 20
The problems of working in these post-modern,
post-Christian contexts need no elaboration here, because the boundary line
between the Gospel and the modern and post-modern culture passes through the
heart of each of us. Each Jesuit encounters the impulse to unbelief first of
all in himself; it is only when we deal with that dimension in ourselves that
we can speak to others of the reality of God.

Wow! Thank you for this 'word in season'
ReplyDeleteI'm not a Jesuit but I am dealing with certain "dimensions": and I am miles away from finding a resolution.

Thanks. Yes, when we are honest about our vulnerabilities with our faith, we deal with reality and its many dimensions.
