Praying for peace …
3 missing Israeli teens were found dead in the West Bank Monday. In all likelihood, the spiral of violence will spin on with even more fury now – each offense by one group being used to “justify” new revenge by its counterpart, which then becomes a new offense.
May Dr. King’s words, uttered the year I was born, find their way into more and more hearts:
“As you press on for justice, be sure to move with dignity and discipline, using only the weapon of love. Let no man pull you so low as to hate him. Always avoid violence. If you succumb to the temptation of using violence in your struggle, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness, and your chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos.”
