We are all naturally inclined to "hit them back" (or first). Seems to make sense - till you read stories like this. Challenged by Christ's "turn the other cheek" and "do not repay anyone evil for evil." And the need to take the heat out of the fight whilst we learn.

A member of our well regulated militia shoots a man who had cut him off while driving. That man is also a member of our well regulated militia and shoots him back. They’re both dead. https://t.co/3zPWoWLXeq

I think this is one of my favorite photographs: Dr. Zbigniew Religa keeping watch on a patient after a 23 hour heart surgery, 1987.

The patient outlived him.

My grandchildren's grandchildren may never know of me but I want to leave them a gift even if they don't know who gave it. We can't be a perfect Church - it is enough to be a faithful Church, sharing Jesus and the sacraments with the next generations. @BrianZahnd
