WORDS OF THE HOLY FATHER
Jesus shows us the way of true justice through the law of love which is greater than the law of retaliation, “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”. This ancient law imposed the infliction on wrongdoers of a punishment equivalent to the damage they caused. (…) Jesus does not ask his disciples to abide evil, but asks them to react; however, not with another evil action, but with good. This is the only way to break the chain of evil (…) Evil is, in fact, a “void”, (…) It is not possible to fill a void, except with “fullness”, that is, good.
