We find the God who comes down to visit us, not by basking in some elegant religious theory, but by setting out on a journey, seeking the signs of his presence in everyday life, and above all in encountering and touching the flesh of our brothers and sisters.
People who fail to do something right, even by their own definition of right, often break through to enlightenment & compassion. It is God’s greatest surprise & constant disguise, but we only know it to be true by going through it. #DailyMeditations https://t.co/q5lQa4q9b1
From our homes to yours, we wish you Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays filled with joy, peace, and memorable moments.

This is devastating.
Humanitarians - teachers, health workers, aid workers, and many others - put their lives on the line every single day to provide unwavering support to communities in crisis.
Sending condolences to the entire @UNRWA team.
Letting go of our own small vantage point is the core of what we mean by conversion, but also what we mean by Franciscan “poverty.” Poverty is when we recognize that myself — by itself — is largely powerless and ineffective. https://t.co/q5lQa4q9b1

The climate crisis and ongoing conflict have caused the need for humanitarian aid to be at a record high.
This is a historic moment that calls for a historic investment in global health and humanitarian needs, not a retreat.

Media coverage of Sudan has drastically declined since April, when the violence began.
I am grateful for reporters like @HJ_Mai and others who continue to bring light to the atrocities that are unfolding. Without coverage, humanitarian crises go unnoticed. https://t.co/bWNtFA4brz

For all practical purposes, this change of identity from the separate self to the connected and #TrueSelf is the major — almost seismic — shift in motivation and consciousness itself that mature religion rightly calls conversion. #DailyMeditations https://t.co/ocjEJX1Mmu
