About This Quote
The unqualified affirmation of the univeral will of salvation has radically changed the way of conceiving the mission of the Church in the world. . . .
The work of salvation is a reality which occurs in history. The entire history of mankind from creation to redemption is a single history that runs from the beginning to end. It is a history that is directed towards its end, towards redemption, and it runs from beginning to end in one single line.
In the light of this fact there can be no doubt that our mission in this world is a mission of salvation, a mission which occurs in history.
