The age of living has come, and human dignity has been lost. therefore
It seems that we are living without the dignity of a human being that cannot be changed even if we give it to the world.
I did.
Second, we live in an age of distrust. We can't trust each other, we can't open our hearts
It means that you are living with an armour. Unbelievable between brothers and between upper and lower employees

I don't know how many people live in feuds in hatred. in this place
There is no peace. There is no love. No respect, no fun in life

There are many cases. Secretly feeling loneliness and loneliness, getting hurt and sighing
There are a lot of things to build. In addition, the meaning of life through external challenges
In the case of despair and hopelessness in the loss of self, without finding value and value.
I don't know how many woo.
In this way, today's reality is the age of dehumanization, the age of distrust, and the
It's an era. Because of these things, true love is lacking and recognition is dry.
It is going away, and you will lose all your integrity and live. so the society
It's only getting darker. It is an era of violence, sin and lies.
Rick is gone.

The work of receiving solutions must happen through the church. when this happens
It is to live in a transformed form.
The word of this text is that Jesus ascended the Mount of Transfiguration to the disciples
It was an event that showed humility. How can we Christians in this case
We want to think about whether we can live in a transformed form.

I promise to live by faith and leave it to the Way. Meanwhile, miraculously
I was healed. St. Francis, who rose from illness, lived in a transformed form.
I did. He lived in the image of God's love. Even hugging a leper
There is also a story that they kissed each other. This is what appeared in the deformed form
I think it was the image of God's love.
We should not be too obsessed with the earth, but live in a transformed form on a higher level.

I am saying In such a time, we saints must cross the cross to live in a transformed form.
