"The mission of Christ's disciples 'all nations' aims at the universality of love that elevates man towards the Divine-Human... The mission is the duty of the 'catholic' Church. Those 'outside' the Church may be geographically very close or very far away... The goal is not for the Church to conquer 'all nations', but to disciple them...".

"We are called... to overcome our prejudices and hesitations and to meet our contemporaries in the area of their pressing problems. With sincere respect for the uniqueness of every people and culture, for freedom and the dignity of every human person, we give the common testimony 'wearing the leader and perfecter of faith Jesus' 'until the end of the age'...".

In the pages of this volume, the theme of mission unfolds in its real existential, ecclesiastical, and pan-human dimensions, awakening consciences, revealing responsibilities, filling the heart with awareness and hope.
The speech of Archbishop of Albania Anastasios, sometimes calm and sometimes like a stormy wave, calls us to step out of the confined courtyard of our individual or collective 'ego' and to follow Christ consistently.
