However, the cardinal invited those present not to forget that Christians have "reached a common interpretation, not on all but on many controversial points". Then, he added, "we will and we can reconcile the different traditions and try to find a common language that is accessible and understandable by our contemporaries". "A lot - went on card. Kasper - remains to be done". Many have a Bible but "only few people read it and meditate on it in private. It is rarely read in the family and few people attend Biblical courses". That's why, at the end of his speech, the cardinal invoked "new ecumenical commitment for the Bible" and expressed the wish that the ecumenical movement may lead to "a new Biblical surge".
