Take heart and never stop taking heart.

One of the most welcome pieces of writing that drops into The Editor's Gmail comes from Michael K Marsh, a priest in the Episcopal Church in the USA.

Michal writes a blog called Interrupting The Silence.

To-day, he has written in a heart-breaking manner of the 

violence and loss of life in Charlottesville, Virginia in the USA 

stirred up by neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan.

Please read Michael's blog post

which he concludes by saying

What do you see when you look into your heart?

Are you afraid? I sure hope so. 

I hope you and I are always afraid, afraid enough to take heart, 

to take heart again, and to never stop taking heart.

“Take heart, it is I,” Jesus says. 

Hear his words again, “Be courageous, I Am/am.”

Will we be?
