FERGUSON CASE: LET'S STRIVE FOR 'FAITH'!

Source: Reuters

What connects people? What unites them? I had this thought in my mind after reading about the Ferguson Case. Indeed, it’s not easy, but, not that difficult either, I believe. After thinking for a while, I finally got the answer. Faith, I believe, connects us all! Faith helps in building relationships, scraps: insecurities, hatred and inequality. Just imagine a world where every individual has faith in the rest of the community. That world, I believe, is what we call Haven.
We (humans) are aggressive. Probably, it’s our nature. The aggression of ours can be assessed from our History. We have harmed the Nature, killed our own selves (by fighting countless wars), and are now destroying our very identity which we call humanity. We had reforms, reformers, revolutions, revolutionists, who have tried to make a difference, but, their sustenance is questionable in today’s era. It’s like we are not learning from our History. We are fighting for the land, for the territories, for the religion, for the peace etc. But, we need to fight for the mankind, for the elongation of our sustenance on our Planet. And for this, we have to have faith on our own selves.

Prayer for Faith (Source: Catholic Online)
Lord, I believe:
I wish to believe in Thee.
Lord, let my faith be full and unreserved,
and let it penetrate my thought,
my way of judging Divine things and human things.
Lord, let my faith be joyful
and give peace and gladness to my spirit,
and dispose it for prayer with God
and conversation with men,
so that the inner bliss of its fortunate possession
may shine forth in sacred and secular conversation.
Lord, let my faith be humble and not presume
to be based on the experience of my thought and of my
feeling;
but let it surrender to the testimony of the Holy Spirit,
and not have any better guarantee than in docility to
Tradition
and to the authority of the magisterium of the Holy Church.

Amen.
