Why? Because they haven't seen Jesus work in their lives. And often they have not seen it because we, with our lives, have not shown it to them enough.- Let us help the Europe of today, sick with fatigue, to rediscover the ever-young face of Jesus and his wife. For this imperishable beauty to be seen, we can only give it our all and give ourselves totally.
