We must work hard to find non-violent ways of overcoming political, social, economic, ecological and religious violence and to join hands with all those who are committed to fighting the forces of darkness. In order to hope for justice and to hope for peace, we must work for peace. Peace is a state of respect, cooperation and well being. Peace is the presence of social justice. Peace is the absence of war, poverty and hunger.
Peace is freedom from sickness and disease.
It is employment and health. Peace is hope for our future and the future of all God's children and God's world. Peace is when we have no fear to assemble, worship, work, publish and say the truth even to the powerful. Peace is Salaam, well being for all, with equality, and respect for human rights. Peace is when everyone feels at home and is accepted with no barriers of age, sex, race, religion or nationality.
