The wisdom that is from above, is not only pure, but also peaceable and gentle; and the lack of these qualifications, like the dead fly in the jar of ointment, will spoil the fragrance and efficacy of our labors. If we act in a wrong spirit—we shall bring little glory to God; do little good to our fellow creatures; and procure neither honor nor comfort to ourselves! If you can be content with showing your wit, and gaining the laugh on your side—you have an easy task!

Your anger is like a violent storm, Cade. Your emotions swirl, churning inside of you. You have to find a place of peace within that anger. An "eye" in the storm. You must center yourself within that calm eye -- in the Light. You think you cannot know peace, but the possibility of peace is all around you. If a thought or memory intrudes on your meditation, it must be like the shadow of a cloud passing across a moon. Let it go.

We commit ourselves to the journey toward reconciliation because we believe it is right-even when we are not sure, as John Paul says, how it will progress or end.

We pray that others will join us. -Harold
