Proclaiming Peace

ז  מַה נָּאווּ עַל הֶהָרִים רַגְלֵי מְבַשֵּׂר מַשְׁמִיעַ שָׁלוֹם מְבַשֵּׂר טוֹב מַשְׁמִיעַ יְשׁוּעָה אֹמֵר לְצִיּוֹן מָלַךְ אֱלֹהָיִךְ

7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messanger that announces peace, the proclaimer of good news, that announces salvation; who says unto Zion: 'Your GOD reigns!'

Isaiah 52:7 ישעיהו

Humanity needs today more proclaimers of peace, compassion, mercy, and love . However, we need more who proclaim the fullness of the ethics of peace (shalom) with actions. Comforting those who are suffering illnesses, social injustices like poverty, and feeling hopeless. By helping to bring people out of poverty and all other forms of suffering.
This ethic, for the writer of Isaiah, has its source in ethical monotheism, which recognizes the reigning of the Only One True GOD. To believe and love and worship the True GOD is shown in our acts of mercy toward humanity. Transforming enemies into friends, so we all can walk together in this journey of faith and doubts in times of prosperity as well as in times of suffering. Today we see a beautiful example of what means to be an instrument of love, hope, peace and comfort in the professionals serving as physicians, nurses, et al.

ח  הגיד לך אדם מה טוב ומה יי דורש ממך כי אם עשות משפט ואהבת חסד והצנע לכת עם אלהיך

8 It has been told you, humanity, what is good, and what the LORD requires of you: to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your GOD.

Micah 6:8 מיכה
