It is not true
that creation and the human family are doomed to destruction and loss —
This is true: For
God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life;
It is not true
that we must accept inhumanity and discrimination, hunger and poverty, death
and destruction —
This is true: I
have come that they may have life, and that abundantly.
It is not true
that violence and hatred should have the last word, and that war and
destruction rule forever —
This is true: Unto
us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon
his shoulder, his name shall be called wonderful councilor, mighty God, the
Everlasting, the Prince of peace.
It is not true
that we are simply victims of the powers of evil who seek to rule the world —
This is true: To
me is given authority in heaven and on earth, and lo I am with you, even until
the end of the world.
It is not true
that we have to wait for those who are specially gifted, who are the prophets
of the Church before we can be peacemakers —
This is true: I
will pour out my spirit on all flesh and your sons and daughters shall
prophesy, your young men shall see visions and your old men shall have dreams.
It is not true
that our hopes for liberation of humankind, of justice, of human dignity, of
peace, are not meant for this earth and for this history —
This is true: The
hour comes, and it is now, that the true worshipers shall worship God in spirit
and in truth.
