St. Francis of Assisi caught Gods vision and

gave it new life. He once summed up the

mission of the community he founded.

Brothers,he said, we have been called to heal

wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to

bring home those who have lost their way.

When Gods plan was shattered by the forces

of evil, He sent his Son Jesus to bring love

and peace, to restore harmony, andto gather into one the dispersed children of God

(John 11:52).

O Master,

that I may not seek

to be consoled,

but to console;

Not to be understood,

but to understand;

Not to be loved,

but rather to love;

O Master,

that I may not seek

Not to be understood,

Not to be loved,

but rather to love;

For it is in giving,

that we will receive;

And in forsaking,

that we truly gain;

By forgiving,

that we are forgiven;

And in dying

Francis was only echoing the passionate

desire of Jesus his Lord:

Blessed are the peacemakers;

for they shall be called children of God.

What if we also took this desire seriously?

What if we made it the central project for our lives?

Could we commit ourselves to the way of

healing and reconciling?

All of us have the capacity to develop some simple,

ordinary ways of carrying a spirit of love, unity, peace

and reconciliation into all our relationships.
