A Day for Reflection about Peace

Easter Sunday is for Christians a day of family and a day of reflection about the promises that life offers.
Easter Sunday, 2011, is also a day in which people who love and seek liberty are being killed, and children and families are being driven from their homes and towns by tyrants.
Alone, I can't do much to stop the killing, establish peace and liberty and save children from war. But, together we can.
So, today, I ask all of us to think about the killing and the displaced innocents.  Let us do what we can to make it clear that we do not support the tyrants who cause it.
Let us be clear that we believe that liberty is important and that we want people to be free.
Let us say, as often as we can, that we want children to play and laugh and go to school so that tomorrow will be a better place for children and for all of us.
Let us remember that Jesus loved children and told adults to be kind to them because they were what heaven is all about.
Happy Easter, dear readers.
