From Bono's Address to the 2006 National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC
These goals - clean water for all; school for every child; medicine for the afflicted, an end to extreme and senseless poverty - these are not just any goals; they are the Millennium Development Goals, which this country supports. And they are more than that. They are the Beatitudes for a globalised world.
A wise man told me “Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Get involved in what God is doing - because it's already blessed.”
Well, God, as I said, is with the poor. That, I believe, is what God is doing. And that is what he's calling us to do.
…I truly believe that when the history books are written, our age will be remembered for three things: the war on terror, the digital revolution, and what we did - or did not do - to put the fire out in Africa.
History, like God, is watching what we do.
