“The late Jesuit theologian Father Walter Burghardt described contemplation in action as taking a “long, loving look at the real.”
Practicing this kind of spirituality requires an honest, at times brutal, assessment of the needs of the moment. We must look plainly at the raw wounds of our world: melting glaciers, religious persecution, oppression, forced migration, and so much more.
We must listen closely to the stories of those who are most at risk. We must avoid the temptation to impose our own biases, our own spin, our own brand of whataboutism and instead sit with—and weep for—the problems as they truly are.”
