Today as I was reading one of the internet blogs I came across a powerful presentation prepared and programmed by a young lady from the United States. Her work gives me hope for the future. It’s entitled Peace takes Courage. One of the other blogger or news sites referred to her work as political. It struck me as peculiar that when one stands up for peace you risk being called political. If however in the United States you demonize homosexuals, immigrants and the poor in general you’ll receive a much different reaction. You might even be lionized. It is interesting to note that in all the gospels there is not one mention of homosexuality. That’s something that Jesus never spoke of. All of this got me to thinking about a great quote that a fellow Franciscan shared with me several years ago. It’s attributed to Dom Helder Camara.
Peace.
