Our hearts like that of Jesus, must embrace all humanity. Be loving, gentle, humble, with all human-beings. This is what we have learned from Jesus, not to be aggressive towards anyone.
As we begin the season of Advent, we remember today Blessed Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916) a one-time French soldier and playboy who died as a poor, malnourished hermit in the desert of Algeria. We are inspired by his great simplicity and ardor, as we like him long for the presence of the Prince of Peace .

Let us concern ourselves with those who
lack everything, those to whom no one gives a thought. Let us be the friends of
those who have no friends, their brother... I want all the people here, Christians,
Muslims, Jews, non-believers, to look on me as their brother, the universal
brother. They begin to call my house ‘the fraternity’ and this makes me happy.
