The impulse to retaliate is in all of us. Spiritual teachers have offered an alternative: “Love your enemies.” This is a challenging practice indeed. It will take effort and an openness to grace if we are ever to fulfill it, or even believe it has value.
When we notice that we retaliate even against those we love, within a family or in an intimate relationship, we come face to face with a big challenge: we wonder whether love has truly taken hold in us.
This workshop is an invitation to explore the role of revenge in ourselves and in the world around us. We can look for ways to choose reconciliation over retribution, forgiveness over payback, love over division. We can find spiritually skillful ways to respond when others retaliate against us.
In this lecture and group discussion, we visit the possibilities in relating to others with caring and compassion.

“I created this document to continue to honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Here I share what I learned from Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and modern theologians who have a Vatican II and an evolutionary orientation about religion and spirituality. I chose readings from my book and elsewhere for a daily meditation experience meant to last one month.” — Dave Richo
