.- Archbishop Pastor Cuquejo of Asuncion called on the faithful this week to embrace their role in the Church and in society because, he said, “lukewarm Christians” would have no effect in transforming the country.
“If we are lukewarm Christians, we are not going to have the courage to transform the country, and we will just continue to criticize each other and cry about our past without making the commitment to take the steps that will make [Paraguay] an important country in Latin America, which is not the case at this point,” the archbishop said.
He reminded the faithful that a strong prayer life and a commitment based on the faith would help them to be better Christians and citizens.
