Legal, Moral, and Tolerance The recent uproar over the Indiana (and Arkansas) state Religious Freedom Resto-ration Act should give all of us pause for concern as our great country struggles

with the relationship between what is le-gal, what is moral, and how we tolerate the difference. What is legal changes

over time as “we the people” decide what is moral does not change as our Creator has long ago given us a moral code, a

natural law. Fortunately, there remains significant agreement between what is

currently legal and what has always been moral (Do not steal, do not murder…). Unfortunately, there also are examples

where what is currently legal, is in direct conflict with what has always been moral. In the sphere of legal, but immoral acts, tolerance is the respect for an individual’s God given free will as they pursue “life, liberty, and happiness.” Tolerance does not imply agreement, support, or justifi-

cation of any immoral act, but simply acknowledges the individual has the right to choose. Charitable conversations, de-bates, attempts to influence, and peace-ful protests are signs of tolerance, not

hate speech, when they fully respect the individual’s God given free will. Intoler-

ance is when “we the people” deliberately change what is legal in an attempt to force others to violate the moral code

given by our Creator. Intolerance is reli-gious persecution. Ultimately intolerance

fails because for believers, the moral code given by our Creator always trumps

the people’s shifting laws. Pray for our country!

Weekly Reflection ~ May 24th Pentecost Sunday

“The Pentecost story gives us a vivid picture of the Holy Spirit filling the apostles with the grace to go forth and spread the Good

News. That was then but what about now? Do you see yourself as being sent by the

Spirit to bring the Good News to others? We are all called to this mission. Some in very direct, overt ways; but most of us are called to fulfill this mission in our ordinary

lives doing the ordinary things of life. Consider how you are allowing the Spirit to

speak through your life.” by S.T. Productions”

“As the Father has sent me, so I send you” -John 20:21

Everything else will be provided.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Breathe, into me, Holy Sprit, that my

thoughts may all be holy.

Move in me, Holy Sprit, that my work too

may all be holy.

Attract my heart, Holy Spirit, that I may

love only what is holy.

Strengthen me, Holy Spirit, that I may

defend all that is holy.

Protect me, Holy Spirit, that I may always

be holy.

~St. Augustine
