When all the forces collide and war breaks out, it is too late. The efforts at peace have broken down. At present, there is conflict. The voices that seek peace are drowned out by the violence that captures the imagination. After violence erupts, men think only of how to gain the upper hand and destroy the enemy.

Can large scale war be avoided? Is not mankind coming closer and closer to that point when the final walls of peace will be torn down?

O mankind, look at your political solutions. They are literally paper walls that easily succumb to the fires of hatred. They are non-solutions that allow mankind to stay off the true path. I am the path of peace. On this day (Good Friday), I walked the path to my death. I laid down my life for the world. Now, I invite the world to come to me. Only my forgiveness can put out the fires of hatred that have burned so long in so many hearts. Who will listen? Who will take this road that so many despise? Let the voices of peace be lifted up again, the voices of repentance and of turning to me. O mankind, I await you in Jerusalem, at the place called Calvary.

When the bombs drop and the shots are fired, the hopes of peace go up in flames. It only takes one person to destroy and ravage, just one decision to take the final step to war. How many are ready to act! How many powerful world leaders does the Evil One control? O mankind, do you truly believe that, in this maze of destructive powers gathered in every part of the world, you can find the road to peace? You can only do one thing, that is, stumble into world conflict.

The heart, the heart of man must be touched. The hatred, greed and anger must be taken away. Who is able to say, “Father forgive them”? Who can teach the world that working for peace is always fruitful and war is always, always destructive. Nothing good comes from war, even for the victors. Late, Oh so late and so few listen to Jesus’ words.
