"Meeting the stranger does not mean just saying hello; it is not just listening to his or her story. It is understanding them and to go even further: to appreciate the difference. Then we can enter into communion together. But there again it is a long road."
I finished this book today. I read it about two years ago. I am at a more urgent and desperate place to become a lover of the poor. I can no longer escape it, and no longer want to try to. It is a place of peace and anxiety. Send me to love, send me to groan and plead for the people, my friends. May they be heard again as hey were in Egypt, so many years ago.
