Today is the anniversary of one of the darkest days in America's history, and in all of it, what I remember most is how history turns on moments like this. Sometimes I hear people talk about how many more people are killed in car accidents each year than were killed in 9/11. It wasn't the scale of it, it was the unprecedented nerve of these terrorists, which captured our collective attention, and shocked us.<BR/><BR/>We are, all together, greater than this small band of cowards and thugs. Courage will defeat cowardice. Honor will defeat ignominy. There will be peace, but there must also be justice. As a franciscan, I am a pacifist. But I do not see how to be one, when my heart rises up in my throat. If I saw my own family, my own children in danger, would I not fight? Would I not kill, and die, to save those whom I love? <BR/><BR/>I have no easy answers. My prayers are with all of you this day.<BR/><BR/>WWarrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053407632823479165noreply@blogger.com
