On a warm autumn afternoon, Anna Flores, thirty-six, was walking with her toddler in downtown Chicago. Without warning a window from the twenty-ninth floor of the CNA building fell to the ground, striking Flores in the head and killing her.

The tragedy was heightened a week later when CNA officials admitted they had known the window had been broken since June. They hadn’t fixed it because other building projects were considered more of a priority.

In a public building, negligence has serious consequences. Spiritual negligence also has great consequences. In various ways, we are responsible spiritually for the welfare of others.
