*No to violence!* 

Jesus is clearly identified as the "Prince of Peace" in (Isaiah 9:6). His entire life was totally revolutionary against the old law of talion. He even commands us to love the enemies and pray for them. In our daily lives, we as individuals or our community or family have experienced rejection, racism, injustice, hatred or exclusion and our immediate reaction has been like that of James and John, revenging ourselves by using the strongest means of violence to express our anger, our hurt and indignation.  But Jesus strongly recommends this attitude. Love is the only answer that will never fail. Mother Theresa says:

"Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.”

Blessed day under God's protection!
