Greetings, beloved sisters and brothers: Two thousand years ago when I spoke of love, peace, and the kingdom of heaven, many people didn’t understand what I was talking about. They had no concept of love outside their families, no idea of peace since the Romans constantly roamed the country controlling and warring with the native people, and the kingdom of heaven was some place far away. Today, you who hear my messages know what love is. Peace is something you long for, and you have a small inkling, if not a firm stance, on the kingdom of heaven.
