Terrorists With Fire In Their Hearts

Mary

The powers of terrorism have touched so many places and have been so openly displayed, that all are realizing the full extent and purpose of those who would shake the earth so they can control it. But what is seen is so small compared to what is hidden, and what has happened is so little compared to the full powers which they seek. So, I must speak again about the full and complete darkness of worldwide terrorism.

For years, they have grown, protected by a secrecy which they, themselves, fostered. Now, they grow by publicity and by events that are televised. Their many names are known everywhere. They have become a household word, known to all. Being known, they can more easily recruit. Being feared, they can more easily destabilize. Without lifting a finger or even having a plan they cause nations to spend millions on security, due only to fear of an attack. They enjoy power to cause fear, even when they have no power to cause destruction. All of this is on the surface and easily seen. I must go to the heart, what cannot be seen by eyes that think only in human terms.

Terrorism is Satan’s weapon, which he has carefully fostered for centuries, fueled by hatred, by poverty, by clashes of civilizations, by lies, by the interests of the rich, by mistakes of political leaders, by violence and by deaths. The Middle East and Northern Africa are cauldrons of boiling water which have just begun to overflow.

The West, as always, replies with weapons. However, the West does not experience the fire of peace in its heart like the terrorists experience the fire of hatred and destruction. So, this war is quite uneven. The West has the greater weapons but the terrorists have the greater fire in their hearts. So much more to say.

Comment: Our Lady asks if we are ready to look deeper, into our hearts. What does the West lack in its war on terrorism?
