The 16 Documents of Vatican II

Resolution  


Reflection
 157:   Based on the Vatican II document 
Gaudium et Spes (Church in the world) 
Article 55

 

More and more people,
in more and more countries,
are now aware of their rights as human beings and as citizens

Just like when children become teenagers, then adults
....awareness of rights...and duties

Maturity...not just of individuals, but of groups and nations.
Not just physical maturity,
but moral and spiritual maturity as well

This awareness and maturity
is part of the convergence of ideas and cultures and customs
that the modern world is now experiencing
...a new humanism

Jesus, help us understand how you are the Omega Point
to which everyone and everything is converging in love
