"What kind of world do we want to leave to those who come after us, to children who are now growing up?" Pope Francis asks a question that was asked by Chairman Man Hee Lee. We need to make peace for the sake of our future generation. We need to leave a better world to our future generation as an inheritance. We need to think about how will we be evaluated by them.
This is the reason why we must work for peace. All religious communities must gather together for the establishment of WARP office and advocate for the reenactment of an international law to end all wars in the world. This may sounds simple, but it is a difficult task that requires the effort of many different people. It could lead to world peace directly, but if it was an easy task, it would have been fulfilled already. This is because, we already saw many people with similar minds as Chairman Man Hee Lee.
It is not about what we are thinking, but it is what we are doing and accomplishing. Currently, Mr. Man Hee Lee and the members of HWPL are working to achieve world peace. They are hosting peace walks and inter-faith dialogue in different parts of the world for the sake of world peace. I hope that the Catholic Community under the leadership of Pope Francis would work with HWPL and Mr. Man Hee Lee, because there are so many similarities in their vision.
