Abstract
Given the theological anthropology and ecclesiological charge of Gaudium et spes , living out its call demands Christians appreciate that “Nothing that is genuinely human fails to find an echo in our hearts,” indeed sometimes a thorn in our hearts. This essay outlines some of the key themes and legacies of Gaudium et spes in light of this focus and then returns to several elements of its “echo” in areas of dialogue, conscience, and resonance for the church today.
