Reflect
One of the key challenges we often face is the need to build consensus among diverse individuals with varying perspectives, opinions, and priorities. Building consensus requires us to embody the principles of dialogue, collaboration, and mutual respect—qualities that are deeply rooted in the Franciscan tradition.
Pray
All powerful and loving God,
We are called to approach consensus-building
with humility, patience, and a willingness to listen and learn from others.
Help us to embrace diversity and foster a culture of dialogue and collaboration,
so that we create spaces for the Holy Spirit to move in and among us,
guiding our decisions and actions towards greater unity and harmony.
Amen.
Act
Consider how you can embody the spirit of St. Francis in your life, fostering a culture of dialogue, collaboration, and mutual respect among your friends, family members, and coworkers.
