This great piece is obviously about peace, freedom and moral justice. In this current world – where many people become victims of wars, starvation and injustice – peace is one thing that we as human always dream and yearn. Some people argue that those things are unavoidable – we might say that “well after all, we are human, nobody is perfect.” But I think that’s why on this year papal mass, Papa Benedict homily once again asked us to try be closer with God’s heart, so that He can freely turn us into a better person, and slowly – we can all make this world a better place to live for humankind. Just let God be God :)

Kudos for RCTI and Indosiar for keep broadcasting the papal mass, keep up the good work! I don’t think that any public tv station in the states will air it. EWTN definitely has it, but come on, they are catholic channel. But I guess the circumstances are different for every country. Merry Christmas and peace on earth! Selamat natal dan damai di bumi!
