This hour we are stretching forth our hands with the desire to teach the world the true principles of mercy and justice.

We must teach compassion and tolerance and encourage kindness, selflessness, and loving acceptance of all who are created in the image of God.

Be ever watchful for the opportunity to shelter little children with the umbrella of your charity; be generous to their schools, their hospitals, and their places of worship. For, as they must bear the burdens of our mistakes, so are they in their innocence the repositories of our hopes for the upward progress of humanity.

My doctrine is this, that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt.

I believe that in this new world that we live in, we often have a responsibility, you know, to actually go beyond the thou shalt nots - that is, the not harming others - and say we can help others and we should be helping others.

We need the compassion and the courage to change the conditions that support our suffering. Those conditions are things like ignorance, bitterness, negligence, clinging, and holding on.

We are all trying to make it the best way we know how, so when we look at each other as individuals and nations, we should do so with compassion.

War is organized murder and torture against our brothers.

We hand folks over to God's mercy, and show none ourselves.

All of our energy should be in sacrifice and services. Suffering, at least.
