"We tell in front of everybody who Christ is for us by the way we live the circumstances. Everyone can look at himself, can discover himself in action, because everyone has acted within these circumstances. We have all acted, we have all been challenged by these circumstances. We have all been obliged to come out into the open (and no one is spared) and we have said what life means for us, what it is we treasure more than anything else, above and beyond our intentions."
