"Martin Luther King Jr. On Hatred, Violence, Love and Jesus "The Way"


Dear M,

The acknowledgement that "we cannot know everything" has many practical benefits - benefits that are enhanced when we believe that the Magnum Mysterium (one of Christianity's names for God) works together with us as soon as we commit to justice, truth and love. 

Throughout my life, the following verse from the Gospel of Matthew has served as the "informing principle" for what we might call "a dependable state of miraculousness."

"Seek first the Kingdom of God and God's justice, and all these things will be given to you." http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=%20Matthew%206:33&version=DRA

Do the right thing... and things fall in place.

This "mechanism" does not explain...

                                                                       ... but there it is.

Love

Daddy man
