Reflection 185                               Resolution                          Previous reflections

 Based on the Vatican 2 document 
"Gaudium et Spes" (Church in the world)  84

This article says that international and regional organizations are a good idea
...they help the human family get along...
and help better off members of the family care for those not so well off

Despite its current problems, the European Union
gives a good example. Former enemies are now partners

Let's hope that there is continued blossoming of:
- the African Union
- the Organization of American States
- the South East Asian Treaty Organization
- the South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation
- the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation
....and similar groups

May there soon be a Middle East Union
made up of Jewish and Arab...partners!

Holy Spirit of peace and reconciliation,
please bless all the above groups!
