to be consoled as to console;

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
- St. Francis of Assisi

I am racked with the guilt and the pain of I should,
and I ought, and I can't, but I must.

and I hate that the world is unjust.
I have work; I have woes; I have troubles for life;
but I don't have a ME that I trust.

and to see that "war settles nothing."

When truly necessary, violence met with violence -
but never hate responded to with hate.

where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
