“Help each other to live and to grow in
the Christian faith so as to be valiant witnesses of the Lord. Be united, but
not closed. Be humble, but not fearful. Be simple, but not naive. Be
thoughtful, but not complicated. Enter into dialogue with others, but be
yourselves.”
Pope Benedict XVI, Genoa, Italy, May 18, 2008
