God teaches us that encountering one another does not mean having to look alike, or think the same way or do the same things, listening to the same music or wearing the same jersey. The culture of encounter is a call inviting us to dare to keep alive a shared dream. We can ask: What keeps us united? Why are we united? What prompts us to encounter each other? The certainty of knowing that we have been loved with a profound love that we neither can nor want to keep quiet about a love that challenges us to respond in the same way: with love.
