PEACE & JUSTICE

Remember to pray for peace every day at noon.

Peace is to live, to love, to learn, and leave a legacy with balance and joy.

Peace is: cooperation rather than competition; to become part of a synergistic, living whole,

Peace is: the development of our human endowments that empower us with character and competence in the moment of choice.

Peace is learning to listen and live by conscience.

Stephen R. Covey, U.S. educator and leadership consultant

How can we protect our children when we don't respect life?

 I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As alwas, we must persuade her with love, and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts.--Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

 

April is the Month of the Holy Spirit Prayer to the Holy Spirit Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen. (St. Augustine)
