United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on the international community to make 2021 “a year of healing” in his video message for the New Year. Excerpts of his speech are worth pondering over:

“Together, let us make peace among ourselves and with nature, tackle the climate crisis, stop the spread of Covid-19, and make 2021 a year of healing. Healing from the impact of a deadly virus. Healing broken economies and societies. Healing divisions. Healing the planet. He also added that “that must be our New Year’s Resolution for 2021”.

Rev. Dr. M. Mani Chacko ,General Secretary

A New Year is again before us to live a life in all its fullness. However, being human we will be forced to ask the question “How can this be?” off and on in our life ahead. We have raised this question in our life many a time in the past and we will continue to ask the same question as we move on in life.
