I chose you and appointed you to <\/strong><\/span>
\ngo and bear fruit that will remain…<\/strong><\/span>
\n(John 15:16)<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not therefore a matter of inventing <\/strong><\/span>
\na “new programme.” <\/strong><\/span>
\nThe programme already exists: <\/strong><\/span>
\nit is the plan found in the Gospel <\/strong><\/span>
\nand in the living Tradition…<\/strong><\/span>
\nit has its centre in Christ himself, <\/strong><\/span>
\nwho is to be known, loved and imitated, <\/strong><\/span>
\nso that in him we may live <\/strong><\/span>
\nthe life of the Trinity, <\/strong><\/span>
\nand with him transform history <\/strong><\/span>
\nuntil its fulfilment in the heavenly Jerusalem.<\/strong><\/span>
