The Jubilee Year should then permit us to move forward together to try to heal this world. There are four points I would hope we could agree on. First of all, we must come to see that the intrinsic worth of all people on this globe is not dependent on their race or ethnic origin, their religious beliefs nor their worldly achievements, but the image of God they carry within them. We must come to see that our God, the one we both worship, loves the starving baby in the Sudan as much as the dieting middle class in the United States. All people, in God's eyes, are sacred.
All life is sacred and never to be taken for granted.
We must work together to reverse the Cain-syndrome that has haunted the human race from time immemorial but especially in these last centuries with their emphasis on the rights of the individual almost to the exclusion of the common good. We must accept that we are responsible for our brothers and sisters on this planet. We are responsible for one another. Evil that harms one of us harms all of us. Violence toward one of us is violence against all of us.
