The symbol for Corpus Christi College at Cambridge University is of a mother pelican pecking flesh from her breast to feed her still nesting and famished chicks. It symbolizes God's willingness to feed our soul directly from God's own breast.We live in a time where we buy the myth that only a man with a gun has power to shape human destiny. How many lives are destroyed and what new course does our future take because of weapons of destruction/ Look at Syria, Iraq, 9/11, Aurora -- not enough space to list them all!
But remember the pelican. Acts of sacrifice, compassion and love do more than change human history. They seek justice for the wounded, provide food for the hungry and healing for the sick soul. \Only acts of love transforms the sins of a sick world.
