First lines

THE HISTORY OF SALVATION continues to develop in the midst of humanity. The Church-as spouse and widow, virgin and mother, saint and sinner-advances toward the heavenly banquet (cf. Apoc 21: 2) while giving away all her livelihood in order to have more abundant life (Mark 12: 42; Luke 21: 2). The Lord reveals himself in our history to every man and woman; he reveals himself to the Church amid the vicissitudes of life, where grace and sin are always intermingled. The strong stalks heavy with wheat grow tall beside the weaker shoots, and also beside the rugged weed. No one of us is spared doubts about the Lord's appearance, when it will take place or whether it will at all. Bewilderment besets both disciple and adversary, but despite our perplexed state there is always a call from God to keep moving forward, to let ourselves be touched by the revelation of grace that makes possible the "dis-covering" of the Lord.
