No comments on Peace, Protecting Others, and Forcefulness

CharlesThere is one case when we must resist evil forcefully. It is when it is not a case of defending ourselves but of protecting others. It takes forcefulness to defend the weak and the innocent when their oppressors wrong them. The spirit of peace is not a spirit of weakness but a spirit of strength.
Blessed Charles de Foucauld (1858–1916)
