The Prayer of St. Francis

<p>In this Episode, Chris applies the Prayer of St Francis to our current  state of play: on the Afghanistan withdrawal as well as COVID. It also applies to the Texas abortion law  that just banned the procedure beyond six weeks,  after the Supreme Court failed to rule on emergency requests by providers. </p><p>Do you believe in 'to each their own' or do we have an interdependence and an interconnectedness? Chris sees little forgiveness in the public square anymore to tolerate views outside of our own.</p><p>The Prayer of St. Francis says this: be an instrument of peace. Where there is hatred, bring love; where there is offense, bring pardon; let me not seek as much to be consoled, as to console. Chris asks in a secular sense, who thinks of others first anymore in any of our collective struggles.</p><p><strong>Cuom'ote of the Day</strong>: "One of the main rules of crisis is, 'Don't blame during  the crisis, get out of the crisis'. We've forgotten that."</p>
