One never knows who one touches ....
My recent post on this blog, the reply to a request to sign a petition on the release of the two who murdered Jamie Bulger has had a surprising result. I was stopped today in the street by a member of the Abbey congregation who knows me and evidently reads my blog. The reason she crossed the road to talk was that she had, herself, received the same petition, and found herself in a dilemma, but said, after reading jmy thoughts on the subject, that she had found the answer and agreed with me. She found it comforting to know that, as a Christian, she was not alone in feeling that justice has not been served, is not being served and that the ethos of Christian forgiveness is here being abused and turned into something it is not.
Just goes to show, one never can tell who one is going to touch with one's own thoughts, dilemmas and solutions.
All I can do is to use the same language as my hero St Patrick
Ego Patricius, peccator rusticissimus et minimus omnium fidelium et contemptibilis sum apud plurimos.
Deo Gratias
