Violence against Human Life, Perversion of Justice, and other Aggressions

Opening Reading  9   Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “ Peace !” They came up and took hold of his feet as they fell down in front of him. (Mathew 28:9) Introduction   This message seeks to address the pandemic of violence and aggression in the world. It will attempt to do this by letting scriptures speak directly.
