“It seems to me that this is also a problem for those concerned with pastoral ministry inasmuch as there is always the problem of the ‘who’: Who is the actor? Who intervenes? One intervenes in relation to whom?… It is in such reflection that the word ‘return’ takes on meaning, [such] as when I speak of returning to myself, that is, of a return to what I am doing, but also to myself, to the self.”

Paul Ricour
