As we continue retracing the first days of our pilgrimage from Rome to Jerusalem, the road gently leads us from Assisi toward Gubbio along the ancient Franciscan Path of Peace.

There we encounter one of St. Francis' most beloved stories: the meeting with the wolf.

How often does fear create "wolves" or monsters in our minds?

How quickly do we judge by appearances, defend our expectations, and attack, confident in our interpretations of a situation?

A difficult encounter with a solitary hermit becomes an opportunity to recognize that what seems to stand before us is a reflection of the fears and interpretations we still hold within us.

This is the foundational teaching of A Course in Miracles, and many other spiritual traditions.

True healing (the “miracle”) does not ask us to change another.

It invites us to release the meaning we have given them; to be willing to see the situation differently; to allow our beliefs, judgments and condemnations to be undone so that we may experience true peace.

We are not here to embrace illusions as if they were true, but to embrace the Christ (the Light, the Love, the Eternal) that has always remained untouched beneath every image that fear has made.

This is the forgiveness of the Course. It is not a struggle to become more loving, but the quiet willingness to let Love reveal what has always been there.

May this episode be an invitation to pause before every judgment and appearance, and ask:

What if there is only my brother (the Christ) here?

With love,

Mony and Alberto
