"To be silent, to listen, and then to share the Good News - is the best way to show our love and care for the world today - even as God Himself expressed His Divine Economy in response to our failing, searching and need. Only by taking our interlocator's problems as seriously as we recommend God's solutions to them can we establish and rebuild trust, so our words might once again be revealed in all their life-giving power - no matter whether spoken, texted or tweeted."
