> Dear brothers & sisters,

> We all need to pray for one another, and to love one

> another. We should always pray for the safety, peace,

> love and brotherhood for people all over the world.

> Too bad we can't have an independence day for the

> entire world. A day of freedom from ignorance, hatred,

> war, illusions, power and control. A day where we can

> all love each other as human beings and toss away the

> weapons of war, and cast out our fears and hatreds

> from our hearts into the graves. We must mourn the

> graves of the innocents all over the world, and give

> the children of the world the hope of a peaceful,

> loving and beautiful world.

>

> A world full of love and without hatred or fear. A

> world where we can join hands together and accept one another,

> regardless of our skin colour, ethnic divisions, religion or

> nationality. If we don't unite as a human race, then we have condemned

> the future generation of children a dark and very grim future.

> Think of love, compassion and peace always...

> Merciful God, You made all of the people of the world

> through different Preachers who claimed to have been Your Saints and

> Prophets. But, the contradictions (made by us) in the interpretation

> of Your teachings have resulted in creating divisions,

> faith based hatreds and bloodshed in the world

> community. Millions of innocent men, women and

> children have so far been brutally killed by the

> militants of several religions who have been

> committing horrifying crimes against humanity and

> millions more would not be butchered by them in the

> future, if You guide and help us find ways to reunite

> peacefully.

>

> IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE COMPASSIONATE, THE MERCIFUL,

> look with compassion on the whole human family; take

> away the controversial teachings of arrogance,

> divisions and hatreds which have badly infected our

> hearts; break down the walls that separate us; reunite

> us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to

> accomplish Your purposes on earth; that, in Your good time, all

> nations and races could jointly serve You in justice, peace and

> harmony. (Amen)

Visit to Belarus July/August 2006
