Perpetual motion

In the face of tragedy and violence, Luke 13:1-9 reverses the logic of blame and issues a pressing call to conversion: not as a threat, but as a joyful urgency toward life. This article explains the historical context of Jesus' words, develops the meaning of metanoia as a passage from spiritual death to fruitfulness, specifies the concrete fruits of the Spirit, proposes a seven-step meditation process, weekly practices, and an intercessory prayer, and responds to contemporary objections about guilt, autonomy, and social engagement.
