PEACE BEGINS WITH EACH OF US
Sunday 26th Sep is Social Justice Sunday.
In their annual Social Justice Sunday statement the Catholic bishops of Australia re-affirmed, despite the fear and violence that continues to afflict our world, that peace is both possible and a duty for each of us to promote. The words of John Paull II are quoted
“In the end, peace is not essentially about structures but about people … [and the] innumerable gestures of peace made by men and women throughout history who have kept hope and have not given in to discouragement. Gestures of peace spring from the lives of people who foster peace first of all in their own hearts … Gestures of peace create a tradition and a culture of peace”
The full text of the bishop’s statement Peace Be With You – Cultivating a Culture of Peace can be found at the ACSJC website.
