A proposal for inventing Peace

For humanity to carry on we need to have the courage to “invent peace”.

Of course we’ve asked ourselves: Where do the kamikazes get the radicality such a terrible choice as theirs requires? Shouldn’t we be ready to give even our life for the great ideal of love of God and love of neighbor. Every person can love because brotherly love is written in our DNA. The brotherhood that Jesus brought on earth would then flower 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 whole new peace and allow humanity to breath again.

Living the Gospel: in search of those who are lost

Living the Gospel: in search of those who are lost

In the parable of the lost sheep, Jesus asks us to watch over those around us, to go in search of anyone who strays and to show the same care and gentleness as the shepherd in our relationships and friendships. Seeking, finding one another, going out to meet others and at the same time, experiencing the joy of being loved are all an invitation to gratitude for the mercy that God has for each of us.
