" The deepest poverty is the inability of joy , the tedium of life considered absurd and contradictory. This poverty is widespread today , in very different forms in both companies is materially rich people in poor countries.
The inability of joy presupposes and produces the inability to love produces envy, avarice - all defects that devastate the lives of individuals and the world. So we need a new evangelization - if the art of living remains unknown, the rest does not work anymore. But this art is not the subject of science - this art can only communicate the who has life - One who is the Gospel in person .
(Joseph Ratzinger, Speech at the conference of catechists and religion teachers , December 10, 2000)
