Appeal for Peace

Christ the Lord has come down to the Land of Love to give Peace to His sons
Woe to the man who causes war

 

I. THE EVE OF A NEW CONFLICT

  1. The world is preparing to live the eve of a new conflict (Gen 6:11). Man’s lust for power, his selfishness and his ever-keen desire to subjugate and subdue his fellow men, will have dire consequences for many. And as always, the highest price of hatred and violence will be paid by many little, weak and innocent victims of the delirium (Dt 28:28) of omnipotence of a few.

II. APPEAL FOR PEACE

  1. On this day I once again address my heartfelt appeal to those who profess to be Christians and to all those of good will to lay down the swords of hatred and violence (Ps 54:22) that will lead peoples against peoples, nations against nations in an escalation of ostentation of power and subjugation.

III. CHRIST IS LOVE AND LIFE

  1. Whoever causes war is liable for the greatest sin and becomes one with satan (Mt 4:10), the prince of darkness and death, the one who declared war against God, His Hosts and all His sons. Jesus is Peace (Jn 14:27). Jesus laid down His Life to give Love and Life to the world (Jn 15:13). Jesus has returned again to the New Jerusalem (Rev 21:2) to give His sons Peace (Mi 4:1-3), allowing it to be lived by all those who in Christ the Lord ask for Peace, true Peace, that only the Prince of Peace (Is 9:5) can give, establish and defend.
