It is undeniable that the History of Christianity is mingled a lot with the one of the western civilization.

It is true that we still do not have the emotional resources and the moral greatness of those who make of their lives a hymn of praise to God.

However, there is nothing that prevents us from being capable to, little by little, start our journey in that direction.

Every time we stop thinking about ourselves to think about our neighbor; whenever we use humility, kindness, understanding instead of arrogance, of criticism and tyranny, we will be giving the first steps in that direction.

Starting like that, there will come one day when, similarity of Paul of Tarsus, we will also see that Christ lives in us, because we will be living in abundance the love that sustains the whole universe.
