Reflection
 107:   Based on the Vatican II document 
Gaudium et Spes (Church in the world)

"Humanity has made great discoveries
and mere humans have great power over the material world.

But people are concerned about the state of the world,
about our place in the universe,
about the meaning of life and death.

These are the issues which this document will discuss
in the light of the Gospel
and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit
- to carry on the mission of Jesus
who came to save, not to judge,
to serve, not to be served"

People are genuinely interested in the big questions of life.
Deep down, everyone thinks deeply

Jesus, may your Church humbly help more and more people
to understand the meaning of life
