MONTHLY REFLECTION
Lighting The Way To Interfaith Peace
“All of us want peace. Many people build it day by day through small gestures and acts; many of them are suffering, yet patiently persevere in their efforts to be peacemakers” (Regina Coeli)…May we dedicate ourselves prayerfully and actively to banishing violence from our hearts, words and deeds, and to becoming nonviolent people and to building nonviolent communities that care for our common home. [Quoting St. Francis of Assisi,] ‘Nothing is impossible if we turn to God in prayer. Everyone can be an artisan of peace.”

Pope Francis
