We believe there is a positive development in consciousness of the importance of JPIC values in the Order and recognition of their centrality to our lives and ministries. Our openness to the Spirit will make the signs of the times clearer, and at the same time present us with many difficult and challenging options. Work for peace cannot be separated from work for justice and the defense and promotion of the environment. With more than forty wars raging in the world we have an imperative to work for peace and to support like minded people. We can bring a spirit, the spirit of our founder Saint Francis, to animate many initiatives for peace and justice in our countries.
Peace is possible, peace is a duty, peace is a prime responsibility of everyone.
