Article: Happy Valentine's Day from a Prophetess of Love

In other words: how comforted you will be when your greatest desire is to do what "God requires, and he has already told you what that is; BE JUST, BE MERCIFUL and walk humbly with your Lord."-Micah 6:8

"Blessed are the merciful, they will be shown mercy."

In other words: how comforted you will all be when you choose to return only kindness to your 'enemy.'

"For with the measure you measure against another, it will be measured back to you" Christ warns his disciples as he explains the law of karma from Luke 6:27-38.

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they see God."

In other words: how comforted you will be when you WAKE UP and see God is already within you, within every man, every woman and every child. The Supreme Being is everywhere, the Alpha and Omega, beginning and end. Beyond The Universe -and yet so small; within the heart of every atom.

"Blessed are The Peacemakers: THEY are the daughters and sons of God."

And what a wonderful world it would be when we all seek peace by pursuing justice; for there can be none without the other.

"Blessed are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires, theirs is The Kingdom of Heaven."

And one fine day the lion will lie down with The Lamb and man will make war no more and that is the Kingdom of God.

We Christians no longer need to talk about Jesus, but we are called to be Jesus, to let his LIGHT shine through us, so that people can FEEL him through us.

In a slight paraphrase of Thomas Merton:

The mission of the Christian at this time is to do the one task God has imposed upon us in this world today.

That mission is to work for the total abolition of war and nuclear weapons.

Unless war is abolished; the world will remain constantly in a state of madness.

The church [meaning all Christians] must lead The Way back to the Prince of Peace whose death on the cross was in vain unless we wake up and see that his message was NONVIOLENCE is the only answer to violence.

Peace is to be preached and nonviolence explained and practiced.

That is the mission to 21st Christians

Everything else is secondary, for the survival of the human race itself depends upon it.

"Make love not war-you know you've heard it before."-John Lennon

POWER to the PEACEFUL and only in solidarity do "we have it in our power to begin the world again."-Tom Paine
