Sam Guzman on Overcome Evil with Good

"A glance at the news headlines gives the very real impression that the world is in flames. Who can deny that we are in a tremendous state of turmoil, reeling from one crisis only to enter another one?

"I've refrained from commenting on the unfolding events we are seeing because the world does not need more opinions or commentary right now. But after further reflection and observation, I do want to speak, not on the complex and multifaceted cultural issues we face, but rather about the spiritual dangers and temptations that threaten us in the current milieu."

In a recent commentary, writer Sam Guzman reflected on some of the temptations we face during these times, including the twin emotions of fear and anger and, related to these two, hatred (including a scapegoat on which to place responsibility for the sins of the world). Stating that these emotions are "all too natural," he reminds us that "we are not called to be natural, but supernatural."
