“The Church is, therefore, essentially a missionary Body. The day when she ceases to go toward those who have not yet received the Gospel, she will have become a ghetto and will have been unfaithful to her mission. But if the Gospel must be proclaimed to all men, it is directed first of all to the humble, to the poor in spirit for whom our Lord always showed a particular concern. ”
