We need to have a true 'spiritual revolution.' This spirituality both allows us to share and is found through sharing in the sufferings, fears and insecurities of other individual and groups (compassion), and also in their hopes, struggles and joys (solidarity). Without this encounter with persons who are suffering, without the encounters found in compassion and in struggles together, there can be no encounter with oneself or with the Spirit who breathes over us, and without these encounters there can be no reconciliation.
