YOU WILL NOT HAVE MY HATRED

Antoine Leiris is a Parisian whose wife was killed in the Paris terrorist attacks last week. He wrote in a powerful Facebook status three days after the tragedy. His wife, 35-year-old hair and makeup artist Helene Muyal-Leiris, was killed in the Bataclan concert hall on Friday and leaves behind her husband and one 17-month-old son, Melvil. Throughout his post, Leiris addresses an unnamed person or group of people in the second person:

Friday night, you took an exceptional life -- the love of my life, the mother of my son -- but you will not have my hatred. I don't know who you are and I don't want to know, you are dead souls. If this God, for whom you kill blindly, made us in his image, every bullet in the body of my wife would have been one more wound in his heart.

So, no, I will not grant you the gift of my hatred. You're asking for it, but responding to hatred with anger is falling victim to the same ignorance that has made you what you are. You want me to be scared, to view my countrymen with mistrust, to sacrifice my liberty for my security. You lost.

I saw her this morning. Finally, after nights and days of waiting. She was just as beautiful as when she left on Friday night, just as beautiful as when I fell hopelessly in love over 12 years ago. Of course I am devastated by this pain, I give you this little victory, but the pain will be short-lived. I know that she will be with us every day and that we will find ourselves again in this paradise of free love to which you have no access.

We are just two, my son and me, but we are stronger than all the armies in the world. I don't have any more time to devote to you, I have to join Melvil who is waking up from his nap. He is barely 17-months-old. He will eat his meals as usual, and then we are going to play as usual, and for his whole life this little boy will threaten you by being happy and free. Because no, you will not have his hatred either.

This wonderful group has been providing encouragement as well as education and support to those in our area struggling with issues related especially to the abuse of substances. If you have these issues in your family or know someone who does, come on Mondays to find a welcoming group

of folks, many of whom have been there and/or are there!

In Jesus, God wills to be true God not only in the height but also in the depth – in the depth of human creatureliness, sinfulness and mortality. --Karl Barth

This week: Last Sunday of Ordinary Time Feast of Christ the King

Daniel 7:13-14 Revelation 1:5-8 John 18:33b-37

Background: Our liturgical cycle of scripture and prayer climaxes with today’s Feast of Christ the Universal King. The confrontation of the Rome’s highest authority with Jesus throws into shark contrast the forces of power and their relative domination. The real meaning of truth confronts Pilate as it does us in the Gospel text. Pilate does not get it and thinks he is the one who really wields the ultimate power when he condemns Jesus to death.

What is the real truth demonstrated in this scene?

Next Week: The First Sunday of Advent, Year C Jeremiah 33:14-16 I Thessalonians 3:12-4:2

Luke 21:25-28,34-36

Adult Bible Study Our weekly discussion of the com-ing Sunday’s Gospel will resume this week as we begin

reading Luke.
