Hello friends,
Today, I give you a short video from my cement patio outdoors among the windiness and singing birds. I’m wishing you well: strength and courage in difficult times. Solidarity during grief and encouragement to reach out in love to all others.
"God's love calls us to move beyond fear. We ask God for the courage to put on faith, hope and love as we go out into the world and become the word in body as well as spirit."
-Pope Francis
Since we have just lost a famous man of faith, Pope Francis, I wanted to pay homage here to his principled life that exuded the Fruit of the spirit in a way that we could imitate and also follow Jesus.
You can find his writing, prayers, messages here, if you are interested: https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en.html
We know that God will ask each of us: What did you do for your brother? (cf. Gen 4:9-10). The globalization of indifference, which today burdens the lives of so many of our brothers and sisters, requires all of us to forge a new worldwide solidarity and fraternity capable of giving them new hope and helping them to advance with courage amid the problems of our time and the new horizons which they disclose and which God places in our hands.
From the Vatican, 8 December 2014
