Evangelii Gaudium, 2

One of the more challenging statements:

“Evangelization consists mostly of patience and disregard for the constraints of time”; “Something similar is happening with priests who are obsessed with protecting their free time …” And later on Time: “time is greater than space” (223).

Well, I don’t know about priests, but I know this is a constant temptation for me! Some of his comments on how we use our time are the most challenging in this first encyclical and least commented on.
