Deep Renewal of Human Nature
Merry Christmas 2025. Peace be with you all. Peace with social and ecological justice.
There can be no peace without social and ecological justice. Hegemonic empires come and go.
Peace cannot be bought with money and weapons. It cannot be enforced by bullets and missiles.
Peace with solidarity and sustainability cannot be attained without a
deep renewal of humanity.

Let us pray for peace with social and ecological justice.
Let us pray for doctrinal development to transcend patriarchal theologies in all religious traditions.
