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. Chiara Lubich
