To broker peace between Christians and Muslims, St. Francis preached Christ to the Sultan of Egypt who was impressed of the Saint’s valor of bringing the good tidings when St. Francis said, “It’s not men who have sent me but Almighty God. I came to show you and your people the path of salvation; I come to announce the truths of the Gospel.” With the on-going violence in Iraq, Israel, Palestine, Ukraine and Russia, it’s seldom that we could find people with enough courage, composure and diplomacy to stand up to rebuke these upheavals, so let’s take it on a personal level. In our daily association with people, we can come across with educated people on social network parading disagreements on Scriptural teachings. Sad to say, there are those when caught on the dead end would say harsh statements that are not suitable to an educated. St. Francis had reached to the point of embracing the leper (which is a loathsome scene) which is a manifestation of God’s word incarnated in his acts Personally, if you encounter such harsh people (who claim to be spiritually-nurtured but with loathsome characters) while interacting/evangelizing on social network, would you be discouraged in your missionary/spiritual pursuits? Why or why not?
