"Se necesitan
heraldos del Evangelio
expertos en humanidad,
que conozcan a fondo
el corazón del hombre de hoy,
participen de sus gozos
y esperanzas,
de sus angustias y tristezas,
y al mismo tiempo
sean contemplativos
enamorados de Dios.

Para esto,
se necesitan
nuevos santos."

(Juan Pablo II)

There is a need for heralds of the Gospel who are experts in humanity, who have a profound knowledge of the heart of present-day man, participating in his joys and hopes, anguish and sadness, and who are at the same time contemplatives in love with God. For this we need new saints ... We must supplicate the Lord to increase the Church's spirit of holiness and send us new saints to evangelize today's world.'
John Paul II
Address, 11 October 1985, no. 13.
