The God I worship is a strange god because it is very powerful, and yet very weak at the same time. There is an extraordinary paradox: God is a god of justice which wants to see it in the world, but it also has so much respect for our freedoms that it will not send flashes to strike down all the despots.
God counts on its partners, that is to say us. He dreams of a different world in which you and I would care about each other because we belong to the same family. In the name of God, I would like to make a call .
He says: ” Can you help me making my dream come true? A world in which one would care more about the other, where there would be more compassion, where people would be more important than objects, more important than profit. Here is my dream, says God. Can you help me making it come true? “
I have nobody but you.
