The experience of deep listening ...

The experience of deep listening to others, in charity and humility, is part of what makes the public realm a potential reflection of the sacred. Anything that serves our coming together as brothers and sisters serves the will of God. And that is the opportunity afforded us by freedom: to say what we think with depth and clarity, to listen to the thoughts of others with humility and open-mindedness, and to bring together our diversity of viewpoints in such a way as to increase the common good.
