Naplňte zem a podmaňte si ju. Panujte…“ (Gn 1, 28). Aj naša generácia je pozvaná splniť tento príkaz i ponuku. Sme však svedkami toho, ako zem namiesto napĺňania a podmaňovania ničíme. Panovanie sa stalo zdrojom mnohých krívd a nespravodlivosti. Do tejto temnoty Cirkev načrtáva cestu a vnáša svetlo. Srdce zamerané na Boha, srdce vykúpené Ježišom a naplnené Duchom dokáže zmeniť celý svet. Carl Anderson vyberá najdôležitejšie oblasti, v ktorých sa zvádza boj o budúcnosť ľudstva, a povzbudzuje každého katolíka, aby každodennou vernosťou Bohu zmenil svet. „Kto by dal piť jednému z týchto maličkých čo len za pohár studenej vody…“ (Mt 10, 42). To je civilizácia lásky.

A Civilization of Love
What Every Catholic Can Do to Transform the World
Carl Anderson, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, surveys the exciting and history-changing ideas of Pope John Paul II in A Civilization of Love. By popularizing not only John Paul's vision but also that of his successor, Benedict XVI, Anderson hopes to inspire Christians to work toward creating a civilization of love. In such a civilization every person is a child of God. We are all intrinsically valuable. The battle today is between the culture of death (where people are judged by their social or economic value) and the culture of life. Anderson pushes aside religious differences in order to spread a message of hope to those who are weary of the constant turmoil of modern society. While he does specifically challenge Christians to take an active role in their faith, you do not have to be a Christian to participate in the movement toward a civilization of love.By embracing the culture of life and standing with those most marginalized and deemed "useless" or a "burden" on modern society, Christians can change the tone and direction of our culture. Anderson demonstrates that regardless of our differences, we can come together on the centrality of loving and caring for others. He brings a message of inclusion and hope in the midst of a clash of civilizations and provides a road map for helping Christians understand their role in the world.
