“A father’s communication with his many children… that is one of the most agreeable occupations of my life” 1857
Imagine if Marseilles had not been connected with the rest of France, and that the train was just for a select few? Exclusion of many for a select few…
Eugene knew from experience that he could not do it on his own, and so he asked others that he knew to join him. Like doctors without borders – he loved all those he met and beyond… I look at the small, printed logo of the past 37th General Chapter: “pilgrims of hope in communion”… Not just for clerics and other members of religious families: but for all whom we meet from different families, peoples from all parts of the world. We lovingly serve God, the Church, each other and those we meet. It never stops when it concerns the whole world, the universe and beyond…
God started with God’s chosen people and then moved forward so that all might learn and take part in the salvation of all of mankind rather than just a select few. We are all called and sent to share our experience of God and we discover riches beyond what is imaginable. This becomes a part of how we are each evangelized, by the other(s).
Once again I think of the drawing of the flaming hearts. If it only is shared with me and then burns itself out it will never continue to give light and life to those around us. But, if it becomes an endless flow of light and love then it will be like the burning bush spoken of in Book of Exodus. Together in the light we “…help one another experience the love of God […] and give of ourselves in the service of the continuous unfolding of the reign of God within creation.
