So when Jesus says "Love your enemies," he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition.

We can never travel beyond the arms of the Divine.

There are some things concerning which we must always be maladjusted if we are to be people of good will. We must never adjust ourselves to racial segregation. We must never adjust ourselves to religious bigotry. We must never adjust ourselves to economic conditions that take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few.

The failures of the past must not be an excuse for the inaction of the present and the future.

unearned suffering is redemptive.
