Building bridges that unite
Tuesday | October 6, 2020 | 01:00 AM
“As Christians we remain deeply convinced that the ultimate aim, that most worthy of the person and of the human community, is the abolition of war. We must therefore always commit ourselves to building bridges that unite rather than walls that separate; we must always help to find a small opening for mediation and reconciliation; we must never give in to the temptation of considering the other as merely an enemy to destroy, but rather as a person endowed with intrinsic dignity, created by God in his image.” — Pope Francis
Reflection: Do you ever give in to the temptation of seeing someone as merely an enemy? Think of that person as someone created in God’s image, just as you are. How does this change your desire to build a bridge toward unity rather than a wall to isolate?
