This temptation is characterized by “impatience to reap the fruits of the sowing of the Gospel.” However, Cardinal Cobo points out, what the Lord asks is to prepare the ground, sow the word and accompany its growth, but “not that we precipitate the end of the process, because we are not the ones who direct it.”
The third temptation listed by the Archbishop of Madrid is that of discarding. In this sense, he explained that “the Spirit Samaritanly points us to many people rejected and hidden by our society” that we sometimes forget to include in evangelization programs.
“We cannot do first-class evangelization and second-class evangelization,” the cardinal stressed, while adding: “In the evangelizing mission we cannot exclude anyone,” neither those who are far away, nor those who are far away, “nor many others.” , who, with a weak faith, need to once again welcome the Good News of Jesus Christ.”
