Evangelized By Others

An article by L’Osservatore Romano describes Pope Francis’ calling attention to our sins of indifference. Sadly,

We limit ourselves to saying: “Oh, what a shame, poor people, they suffer so much”, and then we move on. Pope Francis explained that an encounter, however, is different: “If I do not look, — seeing is not enough, no: look — if I do not stop, if I do not look, if I do not touch, if I do not speak, I cannot create an encounter and I cannot help to create a culture of encounter”.

Obviously “creating encounters” is a hallmark of the Vincentian charism.

“Therefore, Messieurs, we must not hold on to anything whatsoever– our ease and comfort. Let’s leave everything to serve God and the neighbor.”
