“MY CHRISTMAS 2016 MANIFESTO  (based on Wisdom teaching and experience, Church teaching and faith)’ by Joe McVeigh

screen-shot-2016-12-23-at-11-08-26

*I believe that we human beings share this planet called Earth for a short while and that it provides a temporary home for human beings and other species; we are all connected for eternity (outside space and time) in what is called the Divine Mystery.

*I believe that God/Eternal Mystery/Creator created us to be responsible and to take care of all creation.

*I believe in the power of Love to forgive and to overcome hatred and hostility through dialogue and generosity.

*I believe in Truth and Justice in every circumstance.

*I believe in Freedom -we will be free if we want it.

*I believe in Beauty and its absolute necessity.

*I believe we are created to achieve Joy.

*I believe we are all sisters and brothers, and that women and men are equal.

*I believe that life is precious and we have a responsibility to care for the children and the elderly, the weak and the vulnerable in society.

*I believe in the inherent dignity of all human beings and that dignity should be preserved at all times and in all circumstances.
