   Gladiators trained and strengthened to perpetrate violence for their own survival and entertainment of society, glory of emperor.
   Martyrs were subjected to violence as a display of Imperial power and a warning not to transgress the order and those it benefits.
   Both served as propaganda for imperial power.
   But there is another kind of strength and power: not to accumulate, control, or conquer, but to cultivate, create, and liberate.
   Why are you here? What is your strength and health for? Your own survival or glory? To build a human kingdom or nation? To prop up a status quo of haves and have nots?
   Like the martyrs, we’re called to develop a core strength that guides us to use our body and life to subvert the patterns of violence, national or imperial power, and forces of dehumanization and isolation, and instead participate in God’s work of creating, cultivating, and liberating.

   6: Because we didn’t have a 6, each HIM shared an example of using our lives for creation, cultivation, or liberation. Examples included developing the outdoor space at Cherry St., gleaning apples for local food pantries, programs to make sure no kid is alone at recess or lunch, visiting aging elders, and the first responders from around the country who rushed to NYC after 9/11.
