Arise, Take Up Thy Bed, and Walk! (John5:6-9)
Across sub-Saharan Africa and Asia families face hunger and starvation on a daily basis. Many are forced to live miserable lives whilst at the same time there are animals in the developed World who eat more and better on a daily basis than many families here could ever afford.
Whilst the World is plagued by natural disasters this one, for the World has enough resources to feed all of Humanity, is one of our own making. Addressing this growing gap between the rich and the poor of the World has become such a tortuous task that many workers are now forced to choose personal hardship and poverty or face defeat. The global social and economic rifts that have facilitated this have further encouraged greed which has similarly eroded and undermined efforts towards the development of an equitable and fair World.
In the absence of the political and social will amongst our leaders to address these problems we the poor are presented with one last solution; Ourselves. With the determination to take up the challenge, to confront our problems and to resolve them we at IRCCA call on all who share our dream to come and share in our mission. Let us set aside any differences, real and imagined, and work for a common good. Let us all answer the common call and Arise! Take up our beds and walk: walk towards a better future.
