In his
First Letter St. John says, “Whoever hates his brother is in darkness; he walks
in darkness and does not know where he is going.” Taking that statement to
heart could help many people clear up the confusion in their lives.
People
who are confused and muddled could clear their minds by ridding themselves of vestiges
of hatred. By letting our minds replay over and over our dislike for those
damned Democrats, or those damned Republicans we tie up our channels, leaving
no lines clear for observing and appreciating the beauties of nature and the
kind things people are doing all around us. We get hooked
into ways of thinking that have become like flypaper from which we can’t disentangle ourselves.
All
hatred is based on mistakes. Get rid of hatred, then, as Zechariah said for us
Saturday, “The dawn from on high will break upon us, to shine on those who
dwell in darkness, and to guide our feet in the way of peace.”
