Our world is broken :
terror and violence continue unabated
innocent, vulnerable, poor and marginalized
are hounded out of their homes and lands
State-sponsored terrorism
in
Orissa, Karnataka, Gujarat.....
Our world is broken :
dramatic climatic changes due to global warming.....
consumerism and over-consumption.....
Special Economic Zones and Mega projects.
Our world is broken :
the Loss of a loved one
the bitter cry for justice
the terrible dilemma of not knowing where to go.....
AND
Into this broken world
Christ is Born
With HIS message
Of Hope, Justice, Non-violence, Reconciliation, Peace, Love, Joy.....
To HEAL us....to HEAL our broken world.
All blessings to you today
and every day of
the International Year of Reconciliation 2009 !
May you have the courage
to be
a Fire that kindles other Fires
and
to LIVE the message of Christmas !
HAPPY CHRISTMAS ! HAPPY NEW YEAR !
