Carmelite Quotes

Quote of the day, 15 March: Silvio José Báez, ocd

“Love your enemies” (Mt 5:44). This does not mean feeling sympathy or affection for those who have harmed us. Rather, it means refusing to hate, seeking no revenge, and being willing to do good to those who do not love us or have wronged us. It means loving with the same love with which God loves us.

Loving an enemy should not be confused with the demand that the guilty party be held accountable before a court of law.

This is not hypocrisy.

One may still feel antipathy and rejection toward the wrongdoer, but one chooses to go beyond feelings—deciding not to seek revenge or harbor hatred, and, if necessary, even to do good to them and pray for them. This is a gift from God.

Love for one’s enemy does not exclude but rather presupposes the need for the guilty party to face justice.

Silvio José Báez, O.C.D.

Auxiliary Bishop of Managua
16 June 2020

Thinking about my own mortality and how I don't want to end my life in a bad/dark time in history. I expect to die when it's a good time in history, sunshine and roses, and how mad I am going to be if I don't, and how American/entitled is that anyway? Too many Hollywood movies and not enough ....something else? Some ennui is out of place, delusions ruling the hind brain.
