The ebola virus epidemic is no longer an item in the news, it has become our reality as one of our members, Clarice Henry, finds her term as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Sierra Leone truncated, waiting to begin again.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, conflict in Syria, Lebanon, and Libya, hostilities between Israel and Gaza, Russia and Ukraine, tensions in Nigeria and Egypt, and “hotspots” all over the globe remind us that the world is not what it’s supposed to be.
The world was created to live in harmony, first with God and, as a result, among people and with all creation.
Evil enters the world when humanity puts itself in the place of God.
Let us pray for harmony and peace. Let us pray for a restoration of the relationship with God for which we were created. And, let is seek reconciliation in the world in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
