“It’s no secret that our world has become more polarized in recent years...
"For some, the natural response to a divided world is to double down on division...The truth must be spoken regardless of how anyone feels. More times than not, this leads to further division.
“Others view (social media exchanges and pointing out error) as entirely futile but also struggle to see a way to achieve anything of worth...Rather than outrage, they feel a deepening sense of helplessness at the direction the human family seems to be going. Too often this perception leads to despair or apathy...
“Those who live in God and have God living in them can offer the world a third option: the way of Beatitude.” Fr Casey Cole, OFM
