Social comment of the Gospel of Matthew

Announcement to our Visitors and Readers

Dear Visitors and Readers, 

we have prepared for you a social comment of the “Gospel of Matthew”, by the “Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church” and the Social Encyclical Letter “Caritas in Veritate” (Charity in truth). 

The reason why preparing this comment is the fact that in her Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church the Catholic Church offers her social doctrine to all people of our time. 

Proclaiming the Gospel, she bears witness to man, to his dignity and his vocation to the communion of persons, in the name of Jesus Christ, the blessed God’s Son. 

“Charity in truth” and truth in charity are the principal driving forces behind the authentic development of every person and of all humanity. They also are an extraordinary force which leads people to opt for courageous and generous engagement in the field of justice and peace in the world. 

Their extraordinary force has its origin in God, Eternal Love and Absolute Truth. 

The power of the Gospel and the wisdom of God may lead the Church, all readers, and all people of good will, to opt for a courageous and generous engagement in constructing a world of justice and peace, in conformity with the divine wisdom and will. God bless you.

Fr. Gualberto Gismondi ofm
