Each time one stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of the rest, or strikes out against injustice, one sends forth a ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence.
Yet it is one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change. They have worked to fill those children with values that show them how and why to live peacefully with each other and to reach out in love through Christ to those who are in need or even at risk. Keep the children you will meet in these pages in your prayers. Pray that the ripples our teachers have begun may continue to reach into the 21st century that we may all one-day experience peace and justice in the world. If you haven t worked with the issue it s not too late.
