This is the task that theology is called to accomplish, gathering the data of revelation and working with it through systematic reflection, either to go deeper into various dimensions and extract harmony from different aspects of truth, or, in a word, to respond to the constant new challenges posed by culture and history.

In a special way, on this day, we wish to entrust to the Most Holy Virgin the theologians, whose very important task it is to research and teach, according to the exigencies of a mature faith.
