Ilia Delio in this 4-minute clip, brings real hope and love to our world. As she indicates, we need to plan for the future, live for the future and live with dreams and imagination…live into those dreams and imagination. She adds that “the only way to predict the future is to create it.” We can do this by focussing on one core value and that is the value of LOVE that holds us together no matter who God is or isn’t to us. We need to live as one big family together.
There are other signs of hope in today’s world that include acts of kindness, collaboration, and progress in addressing global challenges. Individuals and communities demonstrating compassion and resilience, as well as nations working together, indicate a commitment to a better future. Additionally, efforts to address the climate crisis and promote sustainability, such as green recovery packages and corporate initiatives, also offer hope for a more resilient future.
Where I live, in London, Ontario, Canada, amongst a community of Sisters, I see DAILY, many small acts of kindness: one Sister or staff member pushing another who is wheelchair bound, many examples of patient listening to each other, as conversations emerge, enjoying a joke together, praying together in or outside of the Chapel; using technology to bond us, connecting by countless Zoom calls, enjoying card games together. For this, we are grateful.
