As I see the twisted bodies, the deranged minds, and the tragedies of it all, I would to my Father in Heaven that the sorrow it has brought into the world would lead people to humility. This war's tragedies perhaps would be worthwhile if they could act upon the hearts of men and women, boys and girls, to get them to really repent, to humble themselves and call upon Almighty God for strength to live their lives as directed by the Master. We should then have peace.
