Mission and Mature Laity for the Ecuador of Today.

To be open to the Word and to the power of the Holy Spirit for a profound evangelization of culture and society - these are fields that Benedict XVI mentioned during his speech to the Bishops of Ecuador at the end of their Ad Limina visit.

The Pope underlined the importance of placing the youth and children at the centre of pastoral activity, and emphasized the need for a mature laity, well prepared and capable of transforming the living tissue of society.

The themes of the value of human life, justice and solidarity are in first place within the work of the Church.
