The Gospel Through a Franciscan Lens – All Souls Day – Fr. Christopher

All Saints and All Souls days are privileged moments for contemplation, taking a long, loving look at the real.  A long look: a sustained gaze, not a glance.  It requires time and focused attention, to settle down, not being in a hurry.  A loving look: this is tough, especially contemplating my own life when it’s easy to be judgmental than loving.  So, I do not judge because I need to be open to contemplation, without doing anything.  I look with expectation.
