Description
What is compassion? How does it emerge in the human heart? What moves us to act with compassion, and how can it become a way of life? How can we let go of our fears to love more deeply? These are some of he thought-provoking questions Franciscan scholar Ilia Delio explores in this inspiring new work. Through the lens of St. Francis of Assisi who was transformed into the image of Christ, Delio looks at what keeps us apart and together simultaneously as human beings, why we fear being related to another person, how we can overcome and cope with a culture that is becoming increasingly fragmented, and how we can deepen our consciousness to become one in mind and heart with others and in Christ.
