To reject evil, to follow Christ, means actively working for peace and justice through non-violence. It is costly, it is another example of the via crucis.

Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
In Sunday's Gospel we continued the Sermon on the mount with Matthew 5.38-48. A manifesto to wage peace? I could not help but think that this photo from Tiananmen square gets to the heart of what Our Lord calls us to. As the baptism service asks each candidate: Do you reject evil. I reject evil.
To reject evil, to follow Christ, means actively working for peace and justice through non-violence. It is costly, it is another example of the via crucis.
