What we can do is infinitely inferior to Him who does.
True 'reform' does not mean to take great pains to erect new facades…Real 'reform' is to strive to let what is ours disappear as much as possible so what belongs to Christ may become more visible.
Saints, in fact, reformed the Church in depth, not by working up plans for new structures, but by reforming themselves. What the Church needs in order to respond to the needs of man in every age is holiness, not management.
--Card Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI), Ratzinger Report
New saints needed, not new managers
