Expanding Horizons of Concern

Assistant Director of the Office of Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation Kathleen Bonnette recalled in America Magazine that St. Augustine of Hippo experienced a military siege (today read pandemic siege). During it he had written letters containing spiritual advice. “Augustine declined to send [those] letters...because he was concerned about the physical risk to the letter bearer.” Ms. Bonnette noted more features of Augustine’s spirituality that help us negotiate our pandemic siege.
