accepting our weakness and poverty is an invitation, an urgent move,... Relationships are not based on rights. Recognize my own and also accept the weakness of others. I can bear them and make them my own...this is an imitation of Christ. This attitude changed our mission. Weakness is not a virtue in itself...but an expression of reality...this expression needs to be constantly changed by faith...hope and love. The weakness of the preacher is like that of Christ...rooted in the mysterious east...rooted in the power of the soul. This is neither passive nor submissive. It requires a person with great courage, it inspires a person to defend justice and truth, and resist the temptation of power and power.
Accepting our powerlessness and our extreme poverty is an invitation, an urgent appeal to create with others relationships not based on power. Recognizing my weaknesses, I accept those of others. I can bear them; make them mine in imitation of Christ. Such an attitude transforms us for our mission. Weakness in itself is not a virtue, but the expression of a fundamental reality such must constantly be refashioned by faith, hope and love. The apostle's weakness is like Christ's, rooted in the mystery of Easter and the strength of the spirit. It is neither passivity nor resignation. It requires a great courage and incited one to defend justice and truth and to denounce the temptation of force and power. End of article.
