Brian’s Reflection: Friday, April 17, 2009




Love Your Enemies!

- Jesus of Nazareth,
born on this date, 6 BC

OK. Let’s get real about this. If you read the Gospels, you will see clearly when Jesus was “born”. Clearly NOT when the Church says He was. And apparently 6 years before His churchly birthday. Sheesh!

Look friends. Start looking into the deeper metaphorical truth about “God”, about “religion”, about “Jesus”. Christianity is NOT based in anything historical, quote unquote. It’s a matter of Imagination and of Mystery. Read “The Pagan Christ” by Fr. Tom Harpur. You will be shaken, and then liberated!

However: “Love your enemies” is a VERY useful spiritual path! It will – as most of Jesus’ authentic words will – set you free.
