«Let's not say that today it is more difficult;
it's different. Let's learn rather

«The disciple of Christ is a witness. Christian testimony faces difficulties, it can become martyrdom. The step is short, indeed it is precisely martyrdom that gives value to testimony. Remember St. Paul: "I long to even die to be with Christ." Here, this desire becomes a desire for communion that transcends even life".
