Love. Always Love.

In these days of so much hurt and anxiety, we are called to compassionately walk with each other.
We are called to accompany our brothers and sisters in their pain, to walk with them in love.

Sometimes, amidst suffering, there are simply no words that can be said.
As Pope Francis recently told the crowds of people in the Philippines who suffered heavy losses in the wake of Typhoon Yolanda: "Some of you lost parts of your family; all I can do is keep silence, and I walk with you all with my silent heart...I have no more words to tell you."

And so, all we can do is love, even in silence.
The Christian poet Spencer Reece puts it this way: "It is correct to love even at the wrong time." 

Love. Always love.
