Building the City of God

We have been given so many gifts; everything we are and have is pure gift of God, and as people of the reign of God we are to produce fruit. While there is no need to worry, as St Paul reminds us, we have the privilege and the serious responsibility to build the reign of God by the ‘wordless witness’ of our lives (Pope Paul VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi #21).
