Bernard Haring: The Healing Power of Peace and Nonviolence ..p. 59

Food for Thought for Today...

"The New Testament prohibits not only revenge but any form of vindictive justice, any grudge.  Love of enemy is not just a divine commandment for all; it is the heart of God's own economy of salvation, fully manifest in Jesus Christ.  Consequently, it is a central dimension of discipleship in the footsteps of Jesus and in the image and likeness of [God].  "Life in Jesus Christ" is unthinkable without an active and creative love of enemies, with the hpe to rescue them, and reconciliate them."
