A while back I set my homepage in my browser to the website Aleteia, this was to avoid being drawn down the mindless rabbit holes of clickbait and the rumor mills.
This morning the headline that jumped out at me was:
Pope: We were made to look in each other’s eyes, not at cell phones
What a great realization:
I makes me think of the word ‘reconciliation’ … which seems like a word that we have forgotten its meaning and importance.
I read the latin breakdown of the word ‘reconciliation’
Follow me on this:
“Re” – implies ‘again’
“con” – implies ‘together’
“cilia” – is the word for ‘eyelash’
“tion” – implies ‘action’
Knowing this we can put together this statement that gives us the first step of reconciliation … The action of bringing your eyelash together again with another’s eyelash.
To do this it means that you will need to come down to meet that person face to face.
kind of gives another meaning the taking on the posture of Christ.
