Embracing a spirit of prayer and joy, Catholics are called to spread the truth of the Gospel in a world saturated with false messages, said Cardinal Thomas C. Collins of Toronto.
"Our mission is to offer to our age the life-giving Gospel alternative to the superficially attractive wisdom of this age," the cardinal said. "And we need to do so persuasively, to get through to people, including Catholics, who are bewitched by the wisdom of this age."
Cardinal Collins delivered his homily at an August 8 Mass for the Knights of Columbus' 130th Supreme Convention.
The convention, which was held in Anaheim, Calif., drew more than 2,000 participants, including dozens of bishops from around the world.
As Catholics, Cardinal Collins told the Knights, we are called to "proclaim the supernatural wisdom of the Gospel."
