'The missionary vocation consists in being human among humans with Christ in your heart. Parents, carers, teachers, artists, musicians, journalists, politicians, bus-drivers are all potential missionaries; even people who live in humble obscurity are called to release the aroma of Christ, like Mary of Bethany. However humble your own missionary vocation happens to be, your task is to make it our own.'
