Evening: Psalm 118; John 16:1-15
In John Steinbeck’s novel, To a God Unknown, is a line I always remember: “Oh, how the prayers of the millions fight and destroy one another on their way to the throne of God!” Our religious ideas and convictions have precipitated so much human conflict. Just last night, Catholic and Protestant youths were again turning to violence on the streets of Belfast. We fight because we do not listen to one another nor to the Spirit who speaks through every human life. If we presume that our enemies can hear neither us nor the Spirit, we are all lost. Listen!
