Why are people going downward when the road to God leads upward?
From the Second Experience of Raymond Nader with Saint Sharbel. Read the story of Raymond Nader’s Experience with Saint Sharbel. Love of neighbor rests on mirroring God’s tenderness and compassion in a life of reconciliation, forgiveness, shunning hurtful rhetoric, prejudice, and judgmentalism (“Do not judge, lest you be judged”). This love overcomes the obstacles of enmity – including “sibling rivalry” –, for serious, radical love follows the Beatitudes: “Blessed are the meek, the merciful, and those who work for peace, for they will be called the Children of God, inherit the earth, and be shown mercy.” Excerpt from a new addition to our articles, “Where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.” (Luke 12:34), homily of His Excellency Bishop Nabil AlAndary.
