I have been thinking quite a bit about the concepts of unconditional love and radical forgiveness. Both of these traits seem to be needed in today’s world, and I also find moments for practice within my life these days. Embracing these belief systems and placing them into action require a discipline and intentionality that at times can feel impossible. Today’s reality calls us to conversion of our collective and individual hearts, toward a peaceful revolution of sorts, one that invites all “in,” rather than cultivating division. One that is grounded in the recognition of God in others.
Alas, I give thanks for family, community, and the fulfilling sense of purpose that encompass my identity as a person, partner, dad, and educator. I trust and pray that communities in need, across our Church and in our society, find similar experiences of belonging and purpose. Blessings on your week ahead!
“The law of love demands that we become people of the towel and water, that like Christ we wash the feet of our neighbor. This simply means that we wash the feet of one another when we implement the Gospel. That and that alone is the true revolution that will change the face of the earth.” -Catherine de Hueck Doherty, Grace in Every Season
