How tragic it is to hear news about different wars and terrorism taking place all over the world. Many innocent people are dying daily in these tragic situations. These are wounds that today's society is going through, wounds that cripple humanity from the possibility of living in peace and harmony.

These wounds brought through the above tragic episodes are the wounds that already have been suffered by the body of Christ when being on the Cross. These same wounds carried by Jesus makes it possible to experience healing by loving, trusting and having faith in Him. It is only through Jesus that these wounds are healed.

Each person in the world has to work to bring healing to these wounds. We are to love one another without any distinction of race, religion or colour. We are to work for peace in the world through dialogue. This dialogue is not only the responsibility of the world leaders… but each person is to dialogue for peace. This can be achieved at our work place, with our families, with friends, and wherever we be.

Healing the wounds of the world is possible. We must constantly pray for peace. To be united through prayer and seeking the Lord Jesus Christ in our lives.

It is only through Jesus that the wounds of the world are healed.
