Stuebenville is hunkered down, unhappy about the weather. With a low of 15 degrees and some flying
flurries, no one really wants to go outside. This is curl up in bed with Netflix
weather. This is hot chocolate and
peppermint weather. This is heart to
heart under the blankets weather.
In weather like this, be gentle. Be patient.
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard
battle."
Thanks, Plato. Sometimes it's a battle to wake up in the
morning.
Papers and projects are overwhelming. So be kind.
Thanksgiving is coming, and some people are missing their
families horribly. So be kind.
Meeting people with patience can create a new humanity, a brave - and beautiful - new world. Pope John Paul II places the honor of creating this new world in the hands of our generation, my generation - my hands, your hands. "Dear young people of every language and culture, a high and exhilarating task awaits you: that of becoming men and women capable of solidarity, peace and love of life, with respect for everyone. Become craftsmen of a new humanity where brothers and sisters - members all of the same family - are able at last to live in peace."
Capable of solidarity - of sharing burdens, sharing smiles, sharing silence.
Share burdens. Share smiles. Share silence.
Be kind.
