“Pacem in Terris”

Peace on Earth!

Peace to Men of Goodwill.

The idea recognizes human dignity and a global community built on truth, justice, charity, and liberty, just as our U.S. Declaration of Independence declares the ideas of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

There are also many universal themes.

1. Inherent dignity and human rights for every person on the planet.
2. A need for social order and justice, not just individual rights but a moral order for all societies.
3. The world is now vastly more multicultural than ever before and we should promote a sense of shared responsibility. Wouldn’t it be better to “explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the oceans depths” working together … instead of moving closer to an irreversibility of nuclear war? We should not lose our patience, nor should we put our adversaries in a position where they cannot draw back without losing “face.”
4. We must acknowledge there is a universal desire for peace among all nations, all peoples and all leaders who are of Goodwill. We can work with each other if we work as hard at peace as we seem to do at war.

People generally call for order … in their homes, in their countries, between themselves and their governments and most free, critically thinking people desire order internationally.

In John 14:27, He states … “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Discourse over division and courage over fear of the unknown are how we can solve our planet's biggest problems. We have many, they appear, at times, to be chaotic and complex, but God also gave us common sense. Let’s pray our leaders use it more often than not.
