Let me explain the photos on the slideshow accompanying this post. They are of people I passed on the street, people to whom I sent out loving kindness, which Pema Chordron explains as the Buddhist’ practice of Maitri.
This same principle applies to us as Christians; love begets love, and we reap what we sow. Jesus’ teaching can be distilled into one guiding principle, love: love God, love yourself, love others. It’s a trinity of love. They all go together. I believe that prayer can change the world. My small part might just be to think positive (i.e. loving) thoughts and send loving kindness out into my universe, which for the next twelve days includes the streets of Florence.
