Warplane Almighty

- Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
- where there is hatred, let me sow love;
- where there is injury, pardon:
- where there is doubt, faith ;
- where there is despair, hope
- where there is darkness, light
- where there is sadness, joy
- O divine Master,
- grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
- to be understood, as to understand;
- to be loved, as to love;
- for it is in giving that we receive,
- it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
- and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
- Amen.
- Picture: Fiona Banner, words St Francis of Assisi

where did you take the photo
I went to the Imperial War Museum twice this summer. I hate the name. I hate war. But what I really like about that place is that it doesn’t glorify war at all (or at least not obviously) … and the Holocaust Memorial is well worth visting. For those who don’t believe in the depravity of man …. look again. And to see how the church was culpable … well that links with another post of yours. We might have the right doctrine but if we dont’ live out our faith as Christians … well it’s not worth much.
I look at those who are pacifists with respect (mostly) and I especially honour those who stood up (at personal cost) to the nastiness of the Nazis … those who hid Jews, and those who were working for peace.
I am not sure total pacifism is workable … because there are quite frankly nasty leaders out there … but there has to be a better way. Jesus taught us that!
