Dear Friends
President Xi Jinping and President Barack Obama are meeting in California today
Both the US and China have serious political, economic and social problems
How much longer can they keep going in their present form?
Corruption is rampant in China
The machinery of government in the US is grinding to a halt
Both China and the US ....and every other nation ....urgently need to study Pope Francis' recent teaching about putting people before money:
"The system is dominated by the dynamics of economics and finance that lack ethics. Man is not in charge today, money is in charge, money rules" (- in this speech)
I
can't help feeling that what is needed before all else is better example from
leaders.
If China or the US or any other nation wants to improve, its leaders need to be
more like this
president who
donates 90 percent of his wages to charities, lives with his wife in a modest
farmhouse instead of the presidential palace and drives himself in a decades-old
Volkswagen Beetle
Thank you for a prayer
God bless!
