Prejudice and Fear.


The urgent response to the Coronavirus is forcing us to confront our prejudices and fears.

The virus knows no boundaries - physical or otherwise.

Everyone - high or low; foreign or national; Islamic, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu - everyone is equally vulnerable.

A humanitarian response requires us to put aside our prejudices and fears in order to help anyone who is affected by the virus.

And this is accelerating the new light that is dawning.

It has dawned on us that we are all the same - equally human - no matter what our race or religion.

Our confrontation with death makes us realize our mortality.

But it is only our bodies that are mortal.

Our souls are immortal.

And in a time of crisis many turn to God for help.

He will hear your prayers.

So, despite the fact that the Coronavirus is a world-wide catastrophe, we are evolving none the less.
