Envisaging And Engendering An Open World

Moving Beyond Ourselves

  • “a law of ekstasis”

  • a sense of esteem, an appreciation of the value of the other.

  • Some peripheries are close to us, in city centres or within our families.

Beyond A World Of “Associates”

  • ”concerned with their duties, their social status, their professional position within society”

A Universal Love That Promotes Persons

  • The man on the roadside, bruised and abandoned, was a distraction, an interruption from all that; in any event, he was hardly important.

The Value of Solidarity

  • the conscious and careful cultivation of fraternity.

  • “Service always looks to their faces, touches their flesh, senses their closeness and even, in some cases, ‘suffers’ that closeness and tries to help them.”
