For peace … the violence in us all must cease

Morning: Psalms 16, 17; Amos 5.1–17; Jude 1–16
Jesus describes two kinds of people who miss the point.  All people are invited to help shape a truly human community of peace and justice.  Some have no time for that – they even violently oppose it and mistreat its messengers. Their violence will consume them.  All who expect peace without justice will be frustrated.  30 years ago today, 14 women were murdered in Montreal.  Peace will come when all are safe from violence that dehumanizes others for reasons of gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability … whatever!  For all to enjoy peace, the violence in us all must cease!
