SUNDAY November 5- 2023- YEAR 2- Episode# 87 Good Sunday Morning with Fr Andre on KNUS 710 am: “The world is at war, but the arms industry is behind it”- The Jesus Christ’s Option is the Way to Preserve Life (Psalm 51)
Good holy Sunday Morning my dear friends of the show. As we all prepare for the Thanksgiving month, the coming of the Advent season, Christmas and the New Year, we want to thank God for the Spirit of Christmas, which is the Spirit of Joy and Peace. It seems that we need to hold on to the Spirit of Christmas this year more than anytime before for it is our “safe space” that could provide us with joy instead of sadness, and with safety instead of “fear”. Especially for those who are so much aware of what the world is going through, a global war that keeps getting closer day after day and in some places by the hour. God only knows how much we need Him to be “The Lord With us- Emmanuel” to heal and to console us now. 
On November 1, the church and many Christians in the world celebrated the FeastDay of all Saints. Well, religiously, various christian sects debated the veneration of saints, the intercession of saints, the reality of the saints…. But you know something, the saints are in the Bible. The saints of God are those who the Lord redeemed and raised up and dressed them up with white and they were very close to his mighty throne. In the book of Revelation chapter 5 it says:  “You redeemed us for God from every tribe and tongue, people and nation.” 
Why Am I saying this? The purpose of wars in the world oat the 21st Century is all about killing God, or His people or use religion as a weapon to produce evil instead of to serve the Will of God. I actually warned about this twisted evil since the year 2000, during my early work in the United States. There is a video on our website of missionofhopeandmercy.org, : entitled: “Prophet to the Nation”. In this documentary, I stated that the worse national security danger that will face and can break the United States  is if the United States does not do anything to prevent the persecution against Christians in the world, and not protect religious freedom the right way. I did warn that the global persecution against the Christians and people of faith, will ultimately be accompanied by a substantial increase of antisemitism, the weaponization of religions, and a global attack on religious freedom. Despite all of this, I can assure you that from my perspective as a father and priest, as a man of faith and trust in the Lord that we know who wins in the end: Jesus Christ, King of all nations and the only and true Prince of Peace. 
What can we do now as people of faith is strategic and will affect the entire universe. Wether we are jews, Christians, or Muslims, whether we are people with no religious affiliation or of natural spirituality, we must care for life, justice, mercy, pardon, peace and we must repent and stop all forms of hate and be kind. This has to happen now, we must regain our strength and be ethical again. Be people of principle and characters of trust and generosity. We have to stop all ill wills and immediately convert our wills to become good will again. I believe we can no longer delay our response to GOD who called us to be peace makers. Despite the fact if we believe in God or not, but only with God we can amend our crooked ways, repent, call upon the Holy Spirit to join our conscience to Him in order for our consciences to be enlightened. Like this we can save life, have future of peace, and we can walk in the light and no longer be in the darkness. We need to pray, speak and do works of peace. We cant be look-warms anymore. 
The good news is that the entire future of peace in the world depends on us now. Regardless of how many weapons there are in the world, if we say we are not going to hate anymore, these weapons will get destroyed and will not hurt us or anyone. 
While humanity is at the peril of global war that may know no limits, we can stop it immediately if we stop lying to God and and hating each other and rejecting His love and the love of our neighbor. As soon as we come to the light, to pardon, to forgive, to stop all forms of hate, to be merciful, to seek peace, and to love God and the neighbor, this is how soon this war will end as if it  did never exist. But it cannot happen without the human solidarity and total obedience to God’s Divine Will which is love and mercy itself. 
The Mission of Hope and Mercy has since 2014 warned about the escalation of religious antagonism. I personally contacted and organized many meetings with various religious leaders, Christians, jews, muslims and told them of the necessity to reject all violence in the name of God. We cannot anymore confuse violence and love in the name of the same God. At the time, I led the Denver PLACE Initiative on August 11, 2014 at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Thousands of people came, and 19 religious leaders signed a declaration rejecting the evil acts of ISIS at the time. We all denounced the use of violence in the name of God. 
The Initiative was founded on the common roots of our monotheistic religions in the Middle East al going back to our father “Abraham”. He is the common root of all of our faith in the One and Only True God. As Jews, Christians, and Muslims, we all claim that we are the children of Abraham. The PLACE Initiative is an acronym which means: Peace, Love and Coexistence for all the children of Abraham in the Middle East. It was born before the Abraham Accord took place. I did send the Initiative to the White House at the time of president Obama. I also shared it with the Colorado House of Representatives. 
Here is what I like to leave you with: work together and build upon trust and stop all forms of hate. Every time the powers of darkness tries to use religion in order to create hate and wars in the world, it is the sacred duty of the Abrahamic Religions to immediately rise up their voices, heart, and spirit to God, repent, amend their evil ways, and ask God to lead us towards light, love, mercy and peace. 
MY recommendation as the president of the Mission of Hope and Mercy is that now is the time where Jews, Christian and Muslim leaders have to come to a World Summit for PEACE. The sooner they do it, the more lives and souls they will save. 
Accordingly, It is my intention and plan, to take the Denver PLACE Initiative into a World Wide Level. I place it now in the hands of all major religious leaders in the world. I ask Pope Francis to immediately call for a world wide monotheistic Summit For Peace. We need to pray for the Pope to listen to this initiative and accept leading it. We need the religious leaders to issue a similar declaration to the PLACE INITIATIVE like the one I led in Denver back on August 11, 2014 at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral. 
This Summit will have the same effect in the world as the Edict of Milan of Emperor Constantine of 313 A.D. At that time, the Emperor of Rome stopped all forms of State led persecution against Christians and Jews. This time, it has to happen again to include all three monotheistic religions who need to be effectively and full heartedly present in it: Jews, Christians, and Muslims. IT is on this, that the future of Peace, Life, Faith, Family, Freedom and the Blessing of God depends in the world. SO HELP ME GOD.
