5 3, 104 | 104. Though We speak firmly
6 3, 105 | 105. We would like to recall
7 3, 106 | 106. Before leaving this subject
8 3, 107 | 107. Then we see another circle

10 3, 109 | 109. And so we come to the circle

31 1, 32 | 32. And so We are confident
32 1, 33 | 33. In this encyclical We are
33 1, 34 | 34. However, We cannot let
34 1, 36 | 36. This, as we well know,
35 1, 37 | 37. The mystery of the Church
36 1, 39 | 39. Those who are baptized
37 1, 40 | 40. It is easy to see what
38 2, 42 | 42. The very external conditions
39 2, 43 | 43. Here again the timing of
40 2, 44 | 44. It will be for the Council,
41 2, 45 | 45. In order, with God's help,
42 2, 46 | 46. First We must lay down
43 2, 47 | 47. In this context, therefore,
44 2, 48 | 48. We must strengthen these
45 2, 49 | 49. In addition we are confronted
46 2, 50 | 50. The purpose of this exhortation
47 2, 51 | 51. But let Us repeat once
48 2, 53 | 53. There are, however, two
49 2, 54 | 54. The first of them is the
50 2, 55 | 55. The spirit of poverty is
51 2, 56 | 56. The other point We wish
52 2, 57 | 57. This ideal of Christian
53 3, 58 | 58. Under this third heading
54 3, 59 | 59. The Gospel clearly warns
55 3, 60 | 60. This difference between
56 3, 61 | 61. The modern Christian will
57 3, 62 | 62. The Apostle of the Gentiles
58 3, 63 | 63. The fact that we are distinct
59 3, 64 | 64. If, as We said, the Church
60 3, 65 | 65. The Church must enter into
61 3, 66 | 66. We are fully aware that
62 3, 67 | 67. In fact no other course
63 3, 68 | 68. How truly wonderful is
64 3, 69 | 69. Reluctant as we are to
65 3, 70 | 70. Here, then, Venerable Brethren,
66 3, 71 | 71. This relationship, this
67 3, 72 | 72. God Himself took the initiative
68 3, 73 | 73. The dialogue of salvation
69 3, 74 | 74. The dialogue of salvation
70 3, 76 | 76. The dialogue of salvation
71 3, 77 | 77. Before it could be completely
72 3, 78 | 78. Clearly, relationships
73 3, 79 | 79. Moreover, the very fact
74 3, 80 | 80. Our dialogue, therefore,
75 3, 81 | 81. Dialogue, therefore, is
76 3, 82 | 82. In a dialogue conducted
77 3, 83 | 83. And that is not all. For
78 3, 84 | 84. Consider now the form which
79 3, 85 | 85. It has many forms. If necessary
80 3, 86 | 86. We are faced here with
81 3, 87 | 87. To what extent should the
82 3, 88 | 88. But the danger remains.
83 3, 89 | 89. We believe that when the
84 3, 90 | 90. However, leaving aside
85 3, 91 | 91. We must search for the
86 3, 92 | 92. Finally We must say something
87 3, 93 | 93. Speaking generally of the
88 3, 94 | 94. The Church can regard no
89 3, 95 | 95. It realizes only too well
90 3, 96 | 96. You may say that in making
91 3, 97 | 97. The first of these circles
92 3, 98 | 98. In all this, as we remind
93 3, 99 | 99. Sad to say, this vast circle

95 1, 22 | charity may more and more abound in knowledge and in all
