Let us learn to rest in the tenderness of the arms of the Father amid our creative and generous commitment. Let us keep marching forward: let us give him everything, allowing him to make our efforts bear fruit in his good time.

The unity in diversity of Christ’s body means that the Church can be ‘likened to an “organic” communion’, or ‘a living and functioning body.’ This body is characterised by ‘a diversity and a complementarity of vocations and states in life, of ministries, of charisms and responsibilities.’ Such diversity and complementarity enriches the life of the Church, whereby each member is enabled to make a valuable contribution, according to the gifts distributed by the Holy Spirit.
