Description
Despite fast and efficient communication systems, people have become more self-centred, closed within themselves; many a neighbour doesn’t know neighbour. Our knowledge of persons tends to be limited to business partners. office colleagues, associates, playmates. etc., restricted to narrow boundaries and aims. Where is human understanding? Pope Francis says, “Almost without being aware of it, we end up being incapable of feeling compassion at the outcry of the poor, weeping for other people’s pain, and feeling a need to help them, as though all were someone else’ responsibility and not our own.” We hear the words but fail to understand the speaker. We need to be sensitive and caring enough to understand the treasures and tragedies. joys and sorrows, struggles and needs, fears and anxieties people carry hidden within them. Our mind should be attentive, our heart listening and our will active: only then can we give a positive, relevant and helpful response. Here the author offers a savoury and nutritious mixture of Pope Francis’ teachings. quotes, and real-life stories to make a balanced psycho-social and spiritual diet guaranteed to help you be more understanding.
