•-The living conditions of people have become so vulnerable that they have been reduced to mere puppets of the system. In recent times we have seen that the people witnessed a series of crisis that are dividing humanity. The series of bomb blasts, the terrorist attacks, the attacks on minorities, suicides by cotton farmers are some of the negative impacts of the crisis that have deteriorated humanity. The hidden violent agenda by way of abortion, Euthanasia, domestic family violence too are a step towards breaking our relationships with God. The global economic crisis have suddenly broken the hopes of many workers as today they are unemployed and desperately looking for hope.
Today we need to be spiritually challenged and hope is the stepping stone towards leading to God. Though all these factors break hope to such an extent, that due to depression, many people will turn violent and go against God and many may even take measures to drown their lives in alcohol & drugs or even commit suicide.
Today we need to foster peace & reconciliation and peace does not depend on hopelessness of life but it uses it to build a staircase towards the building of the new world & new society. It encourages affected people to take this stairway of hope to foster reconciliation and helps in the reconciliation not only with the current crisis but also in the reconciliation of the self and with God. Keeping God in the centre, our hopelessness finds a way to the path of love, truth, justice & reconciliation.
We need to foster peace for reconciliation & peace comes only when an understanding that the current crisis we face is a temporary phase of God allowing us to reconcile through peace. It is a call to all these affected by the current crisis to initiate a dialogue with God through prayer to build faith and to foster peace for reconciliation. We need to keep ourselves occupied particularly during this crisis when unemployment & economic crisis are destructing the structure of living.
I feel that till this crisis is over, people should link up and network with other people and start building up their small businesses in the country and also depend on the mercy of God that will help us to overcome our weaknesses and will help us grow through this time of crisis. Let's all work to foster peace that is distorted due to various reasons and bring Christ among us in this time of crisis.
