"For just as some people want a purely spiritual Christ,
without flesh and without the cross, they also want their interpersonal
relationships provided by sophisticated equipment, by screens and systems which
can be turned on and off on command.
Meanwhile, the Gospel tells us constantly to run the risk of a
face-to-face encounter with others, with their physical presence that
challenges us, with their pain and their pleas, with their joy which infects us
in our close and continuous interaction.
True faith in the incarnate Son of God is inseparable from self-giving,
from reconciliation with others. The Son
of God, becoming flesh, summoned us to the revolution of tenderness."
Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium, 88.
