“Justice will bring about peace; right will produce calm and security.” (Is 32:17)
"The spirit from on high is poured out on us. Then will the desert become an orchard and the orchard be regarded as a forest.” Thus begins the section from which this month’s Word of Life is taken. In the second half of the 8th century B.C., the prophet Isaiah announces a future of hope for humanity, almost a new creation, a new garden or “orchard” inhabited by right and justice, which can produce peace and security.
This new era of peace (shalom) will be the work of the divine Spirit, a life force capable of renewing creation, and it will come about by respecting the pact between God and his people and among the people themselves, since communion with God and communion among people are inseparable.
