We, however, have a different goal: the Son of God, the true man. He is the measure of true humanism. An "adult" faith is not a faith that follows the trends of fashion and the latest novelty; a mature, adult faith is deeply rooted in friendship with Christ.

'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God', as Jesus says in the Sermon on the Mount
