"We have to look beyond our own — if you will — egotistical ways. We have to look for ways of coming together and promoting a message of hope. Saint Augustine says to us that if we want the world to be a better place, we have to begin with ourselves, we have to begin with our own lives, our own hearts."

Here on this forum it seem so easy to click the bait of animosity, argument and discord. Sure we have differences. Differences have been in the Church since the beginning. I think that plurality of views is actually an instrument God uses to help us teste and exercise hope, faith and love. Fortunately every moment is a moment to start over. Let the peace of Christ get firmly rooted n our own hearts. Only then can we share it.
