The our time Christians are still living the world with a “modernist perspective”. To overcome this perspective that does not correspond to the data of tradition, may be important to retake the lesson of De civitate Dei of St. Augustine, who affirms the existence of two “cities” in this world : the civitas Dei, in which people live attracted by an undue grace and this make them happy, and another, in which people do not have the experience of this grace yet, but they can enter to the civitas Dei. That’s why the relation between Christians and the world is not dialectical, but it is the an-nouncement of the opportunity for everyone to live the same amazement full of Grace generated by the civitas Dei.
