and of

“Caritas in Veritate”

(Charity in truth)

Dear Visitors and Readers,

we have prepared for you a social comment to the “Gospel according to Mark”, by the “Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church” and the Social Encyclical Letter "Caritas in Veritate" (Charity in truth). The Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church presents the Social Christian Doctrine to all people of our time. Proclaiming the Gospel, the Church bears witness to man, to his dignity, and to his vocation to the communion of persons, in the name of Jesus Christ, the blessed God’s Son. Charity in truth anche truth in charity are the principal driving forces behind the authentic developmente of every person and of humanity. They also are an extraordinary force for leading people to opt for courageous and generous engagements in the field of justice and peace in the world. Their extraordinary power has its origin in God Eternal Love and Absolute Truth. The power of the Gospel and the wisdom of God may lead the Church, all readers, and all people of good will, to opt for courageous and generous efforts in constructing a new world of justice and peace, in conformity to the divine wisdom and will. May God bless you and your reading.

Fr. Gualberto Gismondi ofm
