Our society’s reality is painfully clear: you are only as valuable as what’s in your wallet. But the miracle of leftovers is the way of Ignatian solidarity.
As I reflect on the words of Jesus, literally translated as “put your life on the line for your friends,” I am struck by the contrast between the communal love Jesus calls disciples to and the violence of our world.
