Pirates of the Galilee?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

I decided I do need one weapon in my house: love.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

When I cannot see the beauty of Earth around me, open my eyes.
When I cannot see the joys in my life, open my eyes.
When all I see are liars, cheats, thugs and adulterers, open my eyes.
When I cannot see the hope of a new day, open my eyes.
When all I can see are bigots, nay-sayers and ingrates, open my eyes.
When I cannot find a friend to understand me, open my eyes.
When all I can see is violence, pollution and greed, open my eyes.
When I cannot see love in my neighbors, open my eyes.
When all I can see leads to misery, disease and death, open my eyes.
When I cannot see truth, open my eyes to see you.
When all I can see is hard work, open my eyes to see creativity.
When I cannot see a reason, open my eyes to see you.
When I cannot see at all, open my eyes to see only you.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“No, Peter. I don’t think ‘Pirates of the Galilee’ will impress Rome at all. We’ll do things my way.”

[Peter running too far ahead of his time, but Jesus didn’t say this.]
