February 15: Roses of love
Even today we raise our hand against our brother... We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death. Pope Francis
In the wake of yet another school shooting with 17 dead in Florida it brings home what I am grateful for again. Family, home, values. The small things...beautiful roses from my husband on Valentine's Day. I am loved. My heart is broken for those families who will not see their children grow up, and those whose children who have had parents taken away too soon. For families torn apart, trying to make sense of the senseless. When are we going to wake our conscience and stop justifying that guns and violence are the solution to keeping safe? What are we trying to keep safe from? I just can't begin to understand.
