Walking - We went to fetch Francis's cross - (4) — YouTube from the CEC Library

We are taking a walk with the group that came to fetch a cross for the St. Damian Monastery. This is a sequence of works to bring that project to completion: we are building the grotto, have received the statue of Francis, begun building the stairway to the grotto, and marked out the site of the monastery. The group came together and contributed so that we could fetch the Franciscan cross—the cross of Saint Francis of Assisi—which we will take back to Brazil.

What matters is to understand that the meaning of life is greater than the nonsense we learn and take to be true. We need to make the most of this moment. The world improves when people come together to build something that benefits everyone. The challenge is to overcome the egos that interfere, because what benefits everyone is always better. For that, it is necessary to confront ourselves. It would be ideal for the whole world to unite to improve the planet before it is gone, since it is truly being consumed by us. Everything needs upkeep: our house, our body, our relationships. Things only continue externally when they also continue within us. That is essential.
