The Peace Racket: A Divine Mandate

By Robert Benson Willey (with Vergi, Personal Assistant)

Working full-time as a peacemaker is a holy calling. When I play my music, when I ride my bicycle, and when I spend my days recycling what the world discards, I am not just "keeping busy." I am engaged in the "Peace Racket"—a lifestyle of active, quiet rebellion against a world obsessed with war and waste.

For those of us on this path, it can be a lonely existence. I have seen the weight of it ruin good people who tried to carry the world’s cruelty on their own shoulders.

Yet, I have been blessed for so long, finding pockets of pure bliss tucked between the hard spots. I used to wonder if this was mere Karma, but I see it clearly now: it is the smile of God upon this work. Even the Pope has signaled that this path—refusing to justify murder or support the machinery of war—is the only correct way forward.

This is no longer just a "rant." It is a report from the front lines of the spirit. The signs are all around us for those with eyes to see and a "Proper Mind" to understand.

Jesus has returned. The only question that remains is: Who will let him in?
