La forza del destino takes a bow and waves. “ If it is to be transformative, protest needs to be animated by love, not love in the sentimental sense but in the sober biblical sense of the word. Hence Christ's insistence on love of enemies. “Until we love our enemies,” Merton said, “we're not yet Christians.”
“The grace to protest,” Merton wrote in his notes for the retreat, “is a special gift of God requiring fidelity and purity of heart.” Far from seeing an opponent merely as an obstacle, one wishes for him or her “a better situation in which oppression no longer exists.”5 Ideally, protest aims at change that benefits everyone.”
