The Pope’s general intention for July states: “That Christians be sensitive to the needs of everyone, without ever hiding the radical requirements of the Gospel message.”
The Apostleship of Prayer, which announced the general intention, also reported the Pope’s missionary prayer intention for July: “That all the baptized be committed, each in their own state of life, to transforming society by permeating the mentality and structures of the world with the light of the Gospel.”
Too often in our society, it seems that too many people read only, “That Christians be sensitive to the needs of everyone, …” and leave out the part, “… without ever hiding the radical requirements of the Gospel message.”
What ever happened to “Love the sinner, but hate the sin?” There are two parts to that saying!
