Love illumines, service fulfils. Success is a one-day show. Progress is an everlasting reality. Progress is founded not on revolution-bullets, but on evolution-cry-seed and transformation-smile-fruit. The Holy See says, “She [the Church] aims to persuade with her immeasurable store of hope,…knowing that the law of true progress is not revolution but evolution and transformation. This presupposes a change from within, one whose fruits are lasting, for they spring from inner freedom; from the renewed vigour of resolutions that take their origin in ‘a love that transcends man’ and therefore from a ‘genuine readiness to serve’.”
