"I would like us to renew today our full commitment to the path that the universal Church has been following for decades now in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. Pope Francis has masterfully recalled and updated its contents in the apostolic exhortation Evangelii gaudium, from which I would like to highlight some fundamental points: the return to the primacy of Christ in proclamation, the missionary conversion of the entire Christian community, growth in collegiality and synodality, attention to the sensus fidei, especially in its most authentic and inclusive forms, such as popular piety, loving care for the least, the rejected, and courageous and trusting dialogue with the contemporary world in its various components and realities."
