Archbishop Desmond Tutu has written a very moving letter to a newborn baby girl in America and it’s giving all of us goosebumps.


“This. This is what the world needs. This is a letter sent to a colleague’s newborn baby from Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Juliet’s daddy wrote to him because he wanted to collect a book of letters for Juliet. Not only did he [Tutu] respond, but he wrote what the world must embrace,” Jeni C reportedly wrote on Facebook alongside a copy of the letter, sapeople reported.

Below is the letter:


Hello, little sister.

You don't know me. I am a very old grandfather from South Africa nearing the end of my journey on earth while your journey - on another continent many miles away - is just beginning. We may never meet on earth, so I thought to send you a secret. Well, it's not really a secret because we should all know it. So I don't mind if you tell everyone else.

Did you know that we all people belong to one family; the human family? That although we may look nothing like each other, live in separate homes, practise our own cultures, subscribe to different religions - and some of us have more money than others - we are all sisters and brothers in God's family?

You and I, and everyone else, were born with the same purpose. For love, for goodness and for one another.

God Bless You

Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu

Cape Town, South Africa


The letter has gone viral and has been praised by many.


How very dear indeed!


Yes, we are all one!

 

We have so much in common. For one our hearts beat the same, and these red plush beating machines are full of feelings, with the same desire to be loved, respected, cared for, and understood. Sure, we differ slightly from each other, but intrinsically are the same. Love this letter. Let love shine!
