One thing I have noticed is that every Generation has to relearn the message of Christ. In 1 Maccabees the Jews rededicated themselves. In Jesus time that had made His house a den of thieves. In our time we have so much more to contend with than terrorists.
As you quoted our Holy Father Pope Frances, humility, fraternity, forgiveness and reconciliation are how we minister to the mission field of our lives.We can only do our pathetic best. We will make mistakes, but we have to be Christlike in the process.
Do we accept immigrants from Iraq and Syria? There may be terrorists among them, but does that stop us from acting like a Christian should behave. Is this showing humility, fraternity, forgiveness and reconciliation. It is a question and not a solution.
One of my favorite scriptures is Matthew 28:17-20 the great commission and it ends with the words and I will be with you always even to the end of the age. Christ is with us in good times and in bad, but the most important thing to carry forward is that He will be with us always.
Good reflection. Love the dog.
We can
