Last night before going to bed I received an e-mail describing the latest incursion of ISIS into a city in Iraq where they began systematic beheading of children. This morning there is news of their most recent video with severe threats to the United States and stating that the War is just beginning. At Mass we heard the famous passage from 1 Corinthians 12 about love. It is worth picking up the Bible to read it today in light the the hate that increases every day. Jesus surely wishes us to experience peace in our hearts and to be at peace with our neighbor. When we've had a hard day, we know what a gesture of love can do to pick us up and set us on course today. May we go out of our way today to show love to others, and pray that the love that never fails will resolve the tense situation in the Near East, and stop the concerted efforts of ISIS to convert by killing the innocent, especially children.
