‘Nothing is more important for the recovery of the church’s mission (where it has been lost), or its development (where is is weak), than a fresh, clear and comprehensive vision of Jesus Christ ….
‘Where he is demeaned, and specially when he is denied, in the fulness of his unique person and work, the church lacks motivation and direction, our morale crumbles and our mission disintegrates. But when we see Jesus, it is enough. We have all the inspiration, incentive, authority and power we need.’
