pastor's CornerJanuary 17, 2021Dear Friends and Families St. Vincent de Paul,
As we remember on Monday, January 18th, the memory and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I can’t help but reflect very sadly on the events that took place recently in our Nation’s Capital. When I saw the terrible desecration of the “Cathedral of our Democracy”, I felt shame and disappointment that the land of the free could be treated with such disrespect and violence. This is not what Dr. King had envisioned when he fought tirelessly to bring people together. As he himself expressed, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
I wonder how the hard fought union that has forged us as a nation could so easily be threatened and possibly destroyed. But I am also reminded that our nation is united by a miraculous document called ”The Constitution.” Last year I had the opportunity to visit the Capital and its hallowed halls. I was reminded of John F. Kennedy’s book, “Profiles in Courage”, where he shows how this nation was formed and nurtured. I witnessed the courage of those policemen and policewomen who stood their ground against a mob last Wednesday. Their courage showed brightly and strongly in the midst of chaos. I prayed for our Congressmen and Congresswomen who were potential victims of hatred and violence. We think especially of our own leaders here in California; Nancy Pelosi, Jackie Spear and Diane Feinstein.
As we move into this New Year of 2021, let us be reminded of the legacies of people like Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy and so many others like them, for their acts of courage. And let us drive out the darkness and hate and pray for light and love.
Amen
