Pace e Bene – 25 August 2025

“It is an unpatriotic lie that we as a nation are based in individualism. The Constitution underscores the fact that we are rooted and raised in a communal society and that we each have a responsibility to build up the whole. The Preamble to the Constitution could not be any clearer: ‘We the People’ are called to ‘form a more perfect Union.’”—Simone Campbell with David Gibson, A Nun on the Bus: How All of Us Can Create Hope, Change, and Community
