10 July • I am your brother, Joseph
In the Old Testament story of Joseph, his brothers, who had sold him into slavery, were dying of famine, and they came to Joseph for food, not recognising him. Instead of condemning them, he said to them, "I am your brother, Joseph" and gave them food. In the same way, in the Archdiocese of Chicago, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin introduced himself to a Church that was hurting with the line "I am your brother, Joseph." To whom do we need to be brother and sister, extending not condemnation but God's compassion?
