@RayDalio "'To love [God] with all your heart... and to love your neighbor as yourself is worth...' When Jesus saw that he answered with understanding he said to him, 'You are not far from the kingdom of God.'" Mk 12:33-4

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

It is a return to that simplicity which allows us to stop and appreciate the small things, to be grateful for the opportunities which life affords us, to be spiritually detached from what we possess, and not to succumb to sadness for what we lack." (222)

As we conclude "Laudato Si week" and look forward to the release of Pope Leo's first encyclical on Monday, I would like to share a few thoughts on Pope Francis' first encyclical from 11 years ago, that I have spent the last 6 months reading, a few paragraphs per week.
