Pope Francis has called for a day of prayer and fasting today, to petition God for peace in the Holy Land and elsewhere.
Every human being is infinitely precious. How horrible that, instead of caring for each other, some of us are trying to bring irreplaceable human lives to an end.
I don't want to trivialize the issues. They are obviously complex and real.
But I can't help thinking of something written by Carl Sagan (not someone I usually agree with): "If a human disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another."
Send our troubled world peace, oh Lord, and remove hatred and strife from our hearts!
