Our time is precious

Just a few thoughts

• We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant.

• May the kingdom of God extend over the whole world so that all people can live together in peace and harmony, with justice and mercy, free from religious persecution.
