There are numerous problems in our Church reality that require great effort to overcome. Today, I will mention to you one of them, the problem of dwelling too much on using the past, whether distant or recent, to the detriment of the present, i.e., this excessive regard for the eloquence of yesterday as a means to criticize today, as if the Spirit, which guides history to its end, has grown weary of being present among us! I know that detailing this problem would require additional pages, long and wide. However, I will be content here with pointing out that what I have mentioned about the problem includes urging us to avoid it. How do we maintain our faith that the Spirit of God, ever present with us, cannot grow weary of us? I do not encourage neglecting the elder brethren, some of whom have preceded us to heaven or are still struggling on earth; rather, I hide away behind the fact that the Church is the Living Body of Christ, of Which every member is redeemed with precious blood (1 Peter 1:18-19). All problems are human inventions.
