Blessed are the builders of openings in walls, blessed are the builders of bridges, blessed are those who believe in tomorrow. Which passages and pages of the Bible teach us how to be builders in the present and the future? Which figures of the Old and New Testament knew how to open paths and believe in what lies ahead?
