My Testimony

(By Fr Michael Mackenzie)

I believe in God the Father, the creator and master of all living creatures on earth, seen and unseen. He created the world by the Word of His Divine love, for He commanded and the universe came into existence. God saw that it was good.

I believe in the Savior of the universe sent by God not to condemn the world but to save it. He came to share His life so that life must be shared by all.

I believe in the Spirit of the Creator that moves, purifies and gives life to all that God has created. In him the face of the earth renewed.

I believe in man and woman as the heart of His work, for He created them like His own image. He entrusted them to nurture the earth for the well being of the forth coming generations.

I believe that man and woman disobeyed God by destroying the earth because of their greediness. They polluted the environment and disfigured the beauty of the forest. They worshiped their own desire and the black smoke of their incense filled the sky. They killed our mother earth for the love of economy. Consequently, the destroyers become richer while the poor becomes the vulnerable. The world is not something to be shared by all, but rather something to be owned by some.

I believe in the continued existence of the rainbow covenant between God and the entire world and that global issue and climate change are not God’s plan. Therefore, the existence of global warming and climate change is in fact an impact of human activities. Our mother Earth cries for peace, justice and love.

I believe that life is threatened and fate is visible. Fears and worries conquer peace, joy and harmony.  And the word echoed again; do not cry for me but for your children.

I believe that the vulnerable will suffer the consequence while the winners enjoy life, but at the end, the entire world will fall on the same story.

I believe that the new exodus is at dawn. And that one day you and I will leave our motherland and incorporate into a new culture.
