"To reconcile all men in one family, the family of God, is and remains the first mission of the Church. It is not just for some. It is a duty for us all: Bishops, Priests, laity and all the ecclesial institutions. Christians should not be afraid of testifying their faith. This commitment presupposes concrete acts of reconciliation. To be at the service of reconciliation, the Church must truly be a reconciled family."
