Let us not forget that the momentum of
our commitment as Christians in the world is not a philanthropic idea, not a
vague humanism, but a gift from God, that is, the gift of being sons and
daughters that we have received in Baptism. This gift is, at the same time, a
task. God's children do not hide; rather they bring their joy as children of
God to the world.
…bringing people the message of God's
love and salvation in Jesus Christ, [a message] for all people, is the duty of
every baptized person. This duty includes not only speaking with words, but
with our whole way of acting and doing.
-Pope Francis, Speech to Austrian Bishops for “Ad Limina” Visit
