One Step Enough
Teresa of Ávila wrote that “the most reliable sign” that we’re following the command to love God and our neighbor “is that we are loving each other.” It’s an injunction that feels particularly pressing in situations where we disagree about belief. This column from Jon Ogden explores how to love in such circumstances, pulling from the Apostle Paul’s sentiment that “[love] does not insist on its own way” and the line “one step enough for me” from the hymn “Lead Kindly Light.” When we feel like we don’t have all the answers we can still work to love more fully.
