And by this they will know you are my disciples That you love one another. By this, they will know you are my children That you love me, heart, soul, mind, and strength. By this, they will know you are my body That you are bruised, hurting and ***** because you have been out on the streets, loving every neighbour as yourself.

Adapting words from the gospels and from Pope Francis in Evangelii Gaudium (or "The Joy of the Gospel"). The document was effectively a mission statement for “a Church which is bruised, hurting and ***** because it has been out on the streets”.
