So, yesterday I posted a reflection for
Advent on a prayer for peace written by Pope Pius XII, the pope who served
during WWII. Not only are the Paris
terrorist attacks on our minds, but my own home town of Chicago has been the
place of many protests due to footage being release of a young man being shot
by a Chicago police officer. Today, we
had the attack in San Bernardino, California, where many other innocent people
were killed. We people of faith much
search for answers. Even when there are
no easy answers. We must never give
up. And we must not abandon the values
of our faith. To quote the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 32:17): Opus justitiae pax - The work of justice shall be peace. We shall never give up working for justice, no matter how hard it shall be. We shall never give up working for peace. Those values are inherent in our faith.
