Social Justice & Advocacy Column: Generosity and Sacrifice
“… A time like this requires generosity and sacrifice and Americans, while less immediately challenged than Germans and Ukrainians and Polish people because we are thousands of miles away, hopefully will also dig deep to find the generosity inside and the love of peace inside to make the sacrifices that are sure to come.
These may include rising gasoline prices and food prices as we stand with Ukraine to help sustain their struggle. It seems like a tired shibboleth to hear that “Freedom is not cheap”—but it is also true.
The word “sacrifice” means to “make holy,” and in a time like ours we are all invited to a larger world view, one that includes the making holy of our struggles and gift-giving, our generosity therefore.”
Matthew Fox
