In this sense, [St. Francis] opened his heart to an encounter, and in that encounter the other he met was called “brother” and “sister.”\u00a0 That is why it is a dimension that is more than religious, it is transcendental, it is divine, but its concretion is social, political and economic.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” min_height=”448.6px” custom_margin=”-14px|||||”]
