Friar Tuck, it was not her impending death which caused her to change,
it was having nothing to do but think, read and grow. And yes, I want no one to die, not the victims, not the perpetrators of the violence.
I bought another Bible at a yard sale today. I told the lady selling it that I was so happy to find it because I needed another Bible to cut up. She was horrified. Took it back and then handed it back to me. I use words from the Bible and phrases on icons that I make. She decided that I was still spreading the word, so it would be okay. She sold me the Bible.

Yes Abuelita,
The awareness of death can make one change one's life. But death for anyone is not something we would want.

Friar Tuck, I remember some American woman on death row who found
God and redemption and remorse and peace and forgiveness and glowed with it and when she was put to death, having done all that we hope a sinner will do, many people here just fell apart. It is our supposed hope for all on death row....
I'll go read my Bible and try to understand what ou mean......

Assuming of course
that he was a victim of the judiciary of his time. But when you consider a passage where he says: "I have the power to lay down my life and to take it up again." (It is somewhere in John, I'll check later.) Then that should also make us think twice.

Friar Tuck, Jesus' death penalty, being the most famous one, serves as a
beginning point for all Catholic discussions, I would think.
