We have just been touched by the starving faces of Ethiopia, women and children dying of hunger, as if they were coming right into our liv- ing rooms begging for some leftovers. But to think that these people are only a small fraction of the millions who starve across Africa, makes one shudder, The aid which is going to Ethiopia is marvel- ous. People from all creeds and without creed, feel a humanitarian need to share. It is a sign of what many people wish they could do, if they had more funds at their disposal, if they had more power, more control over the destiny of nations. It is a signal then, to those in positions of power of what the people want: not privilege and abundance in one part of the world, and hunger and deprivation in another, but rather a sharing in peace with each other. That is not the reality of our world today. Half of the world population is relegated to a life of poverty, lacking even safe drinking water, while current military expenditures exceed 700 billion dollars. : Enough food is now produced in the world to feed all humanity’s 4 billion people, but it would require only a fraction of those 700 bil- lion dollars to cover the cost of transportation, The people of the world must ask more ques- tions and obtain more information about causes of poverty and hunger in the world, By doing so, more and more will understand and accept our interdependency in the family of nations. The urgency to ship food and manufacturing equip- ment rather than weapons and military compon- ents is evident, To bring that kind of peace and sharing to humanity, God sent His Son into the World, that all may believe in LOVE; that all may recognize Cassiar Courier December 1984 Page 5 Christmas Message Father Oscar Pauwels OMI in each other the divine origin of our existence. Jesus revealed Himself as the Son of God Who is Love, and taught us to pray: “Our Father’’ that we may respect in each other the dignity we have received in becoming God’s children, Like the mothers of Ethiopia, who fled from their enemies into the desert, so did Mary hold her baby in Bethlehem and fled from the enemy into the desert of Egypt. With Jesus she exper- ienced the tragedies and miseries of our human family, and became truly part of our human condition. May we believe in Jesus as a brother who can free mankind from all evil, and bring perfect peace when “the wolf lives with the lamb” (Is, 11.6) and ‘nations will hammer their swords in- to ploughshares” (Is. 2:4). Wishing you that true peace which only the Son of God can bring on earth, May you enjoy a happy Christmas and a blessed New Year!
