Johannes Joachim Degenhardt

"The most efficient testimonial of Christians in the next millennium will not be the critical attitude, rather it will be the attitude of joyous thankfulness for the gift of Divine life. Christians who are joyful in the Church and say "yes" to the Church, will also be able to promote enthusiasm for the Church in other people. Love for the Church, our love for the Church must always be clear and perceptible, even when we are critical of it."
