For humanity to carry on
we need to have the courage to “invent peace”.
Of course we’ve asked ourselves:
Where do kamikazes get the courage that
a terrible mission such as theirs requires?
Shouldn’t we then be ready to give our life
for the great ideal of love of God and love of neighbour?
Every person can love
because love for our brothers and sisters is written in our DNA.
The fellowship that Jesus brought on earth would then blossom everywhere.
He became our brother, and made us all brothers and sisters to one another.
Perhaps Divine Providence
makes use of destructive situations
to spark an unexpected moral jumpstart
and unleash unimagined energy
with which to build a world of peace
and allow humanity to breathe again.
