現代人類的不平衡，舉幾例：

人類的進步	面對的困境
1. 科技發達	1. 但未必全為「人」服務
2. 懂得心裡規律	2. 但未必能處理自身問題
3. 擁有大量財富	3. 但仍有廣泛貧窮、飢餓、文盲
4. 渴求世界統一	4. 但仍有嚴重分裂和敵對
5. 社會化進展快速	5. 但未必利於個人人格及人際關係發展
6. 求取實際效率	6. 但不顧良心的要求
7. 個人主義抬頭	7. 但父母子女間產生代溝

耶穌基督天主子，祂告訴我們，我們原是為繼承永生而受造的。我們原有一個崇高且偉大的生命。祂要幫助我們突破困境，活出你、我生命的特質。

祂為王時，正義必要伸張，如月之恆，永享安康。 （聖詠七十一） 經上所寫，都是為教訓我們而寫，是要我們因著經典上所教訓的忍耐和安慰，獲得希望。 （致羅馬人書十五章四節）
