The joys and hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the people of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ. Indeed, nothing genuinely human fails to raise an echo in their hearts.
Hence this Second Vatican Council, having probed more
profoundly into the mystery of the Church, now addresses itself without
hesitation, not only to the sons and daughters of the Church and to all who
invoke the name of Christ, but to the whole of humanity. For the council yearns
to explain to everyone how it conceives of the presence and activity of the
Church in the world of today.
