The need for peace and understanding is as great in our time as it was during the Crusades, and sometimes as little valued.
If we focus on finding common ground with one another, we’re less likely to end up in irreconcilable disputes. We might never come around to another’s point of view completely, but both sides may move closer to the middle.
Jesus and Francis both know that often the evil that we see and hate in others reflects some shadowy part of our own attitudes, thoughts, and behaviors.
The revelation of the Gospels is that our God is bigger and greater and more loving and trustworthy than even the best human being we have known.
Francis teaches us that by learning to rely on the Lord and on the gifts we receive from others—and all is gift—we are as needy as any beggar on the street.
