Of Violence And Peace

From iknit.org.uk

I tell you this:  no one greater than John the Baptist has come forward from among the sons of women, and yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.  From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven is something to be conquered and violent men seize it.

Up to the time of John, there was only prophesy:  all the prophets and the Law.  And if you believe me, John is that Elijah, whose coming was predicted.  Let anyone with ears listen!

Matthew 11:11-15

"Let nothing disturb you.  Let nothing frighten you...  God alone is enough."--St. Teresa of Avila
