During my college years many many years ago, it was trendy to be open-minded.
I believe most of us would like to think that we are open-minded.
What does that mean?
What are some of the characters that an open-minded person display?
Just made me think about this when I received a couple of very negative responses from my own family members who are supposed to be very highly educated during the recent Presidential Election.
I am beginning to think that perhaps the level of education does not correlate to the degree of open-mindedness.... Hmmm.... that's too bad. Why spend a lot of money when a person is not even willing to debate opposing views?
Have we lost the art of rhetorics, debate.... communications? Don't are schools stop teaching persuasive writings/speeches any more? What is the point of education then?
Virtues are formed by prayer. Prayer preserves temperance. Prayer suppresses anger. Prayer prevents emotions of pride and envy. Prayer draws into the soul the Holy Ghost and raises man to Heaven. - St. Ephrem +++Oremus. May we stay on course, through daily self-denial, taking up our ✝️, to follow Him - to know, love and serve God - with the guidance of the Declaration of Truth, by Cardinal Burke & other leaders, 31 May'19... May the Holy Spirit help us to understand and guide us. Amen.
