The “golden rule” as the way to build fraternity and peace

Yes it is of course and perhaps more than ever before not only because dozens of wars are ongoing in the world today but also because peace is threatened in a different and more insidious way the situation is serious if this is how things are it’s not enough to oppose such great

Danger with melee human forces we need to engage the forces of good with a capital g you all know what this good is first of all it is god and all that is rooted in god it’s the word of the spirit of great values of authentic love and prayer

However peace is so precious that all of us adults and young people leaders and ordinary citizens must be actively involved in safeguarding it naturally in order to know what to do we need to be familiar with the deepest causes of this dramatic situation today you all know

That justice does not prevail in the world that there are rich countries and poor countries where there’s hunger instead god’s plan for humanity is that all people should be brothers and sisters in one big fellow family with one father well then how can we create greater equality

How can we bring about some sort of communion of goods it’s obvious that goods cannot move unless hearts are moved so we need to spread love the reciprocal love that generates brotherhood and sisterhood among all we need to invade the world with love beginning with ourselves and with you boys and girls

Someone here might ask is love loving one another compatible with the lifestyle our cultures have handed down to us yes it is look in your sacred books and in almost all of them you will find the so-called golden rule the christian text says do to others as you would have them do

To you judaism says do to no one what you yourself dislike in islam none of you is a true believer if you do not desire for your brother what you desire for yourself in hinduism do not do to others what would make you suffer if it were done to you

All these phrases mean respect love your neighbour and if you muslim boy or girl if you love and you a christian love and you a jew love and you a hindu love you will certainly reach the point of loving one another and the same for everyone this would already create a portion of

Universal fraternity therefore loving is one of the great secrets of our time loving with a special kind of love it’s certainly not a love directed only towards our relatives and friends this love is directed towards everyone those who are more or less nice rich or poor children or adults from your own

Country or foreigners friends or enemies towards everyone we should be the first to love by taking the initiative without waiting to be loved we should love not only with words but also concretely with facts and we should love one another if you do this if we all do this universal brotherhood will spread

Solidarity will grow goods will be better distributed and the rainbow of peace will shine over the world a world which in a few years time will be in your hands
