"For us let it be enough to know ourselves to be in the place where God wants us, and carry on our work, even though it be no more than the work of an ant, infinitesimally small, and with unforeseeable results."
-- Abbé Monchanin

The Path to Spiritual Maturity


Contrast the attitude expressed in this video with the attitude prevalent among our "Christian" Right and many churches in the USA today. Does real persecution produce love of enemies and forgiveness while self-love and hatred produce false feelings of persecution?

Zimbabwean farmer forgives men who had beaten him up

Will WE Christians in the USA ever learn to love our enemies and forgive them? (Yes, that includes Al Qaeda, Republicans, Democrats, rich man, poor man, beggar man thief.)
