Days 193-194 Because

Love 6-30-13A Blessing - By Duncan Ferguson

Because
the earth is fragile, go carrying it in caring hands.

Because
the world is poor and starving, go with bread.

Because
the world is in danger, go with hope.

Because
the world is living lies, go with truth.

Because
the world is sick with sorrow, go with joy.

Because
the world is weary of wars, go with peace.

Because
the world is seldom fair, go with justice.

Because
the world is under judgment, go with mercy.

Because
the world will die without it, go with love.

    Good will always overcome evil. How true it is in Malala’s situation. Through education throughout the world one is able to communicate thus fullfilling Duncan Ferguson’s points of ability to provide care, feed the world , bring joy, peace and justice.

    “Because the world will die without it, go with love.” This is the signature line Ferguson’s prayer, in Malala’s prayer, and in your mandala, Liz. Thank you for this gift.

    Thank you Liz for this gift. I hope someday all of Malala’s dreams come true since God created all of us equal. Let’s pray and have hope that someday, with the help of education and forgiveness, we all are going to live peacefully together.
