Peace is a dynamic, constructive expression of human energy. Contrary to what most people believe, governments cannot make peace. They can only exercise temporary control over individual human energy. True peace is a product of liberty. It happens when men and women enjoy the freedom to apply their creativity and energy to solving problems like hunger, disease, homelessness, illiteracy, violence, terrorism, and even nuclear war.
Peace is the sum of individual initiative.
Peacemaking begins with you. In your heart Be at Peace. Repent of any bitterness and regret you harbor in your own heart. Ask God to give you a spirit of loving reconciliation toward anyone you have wronged or who has wronged you. In your community The Gospel of Peace means that you love your neighbor as you love yourself.
