By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. (John 13:35)
All of us must face and embrace the urgent need for deep social change - change that begins within, then spreads like ripples on a pond, and finally becomes a tsunami of love-inspired change. All human beings, made in the image of God have the capacity to be good and to insist on good; to care for others and insist on being cared for; to stand up for the vulnerable and stand against injustice; to love and be loved.…
I know this to be true: The world doesn’t get great unless we all get better. We must care for ourselves and the village around us. If we don’t, the village’s problems become our problems, and together our children will continue to hide from bullets in their classrooms. Our elders’ safety nets will be threatened. Our young adults will face mounting debt and earn less than their parents. Fear, xenophobia, racism, bigotry—these problems belong to all of us, and they will get better as we all get better!
I can see a bold new path led by a vision of the sacred goodness of humankind and the abundance of the planet’s resources…. You and I are the ones we’ve been waiting for to create better lives for ourselves and our communities and to build a better world—together. All we need is the courage to imagine, and the will to make it be so.
