“Woe to me if I did not preach the Gospel! "
from the first letter of Saint Paul the apostle to the Corinthians (9, 16-19.22-23)
Brothers, proclaiming the Gospel is not a source of pride for me, it is a necessity that is imposed on me. Woe to me if I did not preach the Gospel! Certainly, if I do it on my own, I deserve a reward. But I don't do it on my own, it's a mission entrusted to me. So what is my merit? It is to proclaim the Gospel without seeking any material benefit, and without asserting my rights as a preacher of the Gospel. Yes, free with regard to all, I made myself the slave of all in order to gain as many as possible. With the weak, I was weak, to win over the weak. I did everything I could to save a few at all costs. And all this I do for the sake of the Gospel, to be part of it, too.
