A Call to Rise Above Violence and Turn to God

The new type of violence that's sweeping our country,

our schools, our streets,

which involves destruction of everything that is in the past.

Our nation is too full of those that are crying, "Down!

Down with the police. Down with the churches.

Down with teachers. Down with government." Can you build

anything down?

You cannot.

Certainly time in our nation to change our words.

Let's begin now to use the word up.

Up from all of this filth. Up from this violence.

Up from this indifference, of course.

Up, up to the hid battlements of eternity.

Up, up to God.
