“Peace, as well as love, is born from a new heart, a heart made new by God’s gift of reconciliation,” says Saint Pope John Paul in ‘A New Start with a New Heart.’
“A new heart is the foundation of peace in the world. All truly human actions proceed from the heart, the innermost center of the human person, the dwelling-place of our conscience, and our deepest convictions.”
9 “Happy are those who work for peace; God will call them his children (Matthew 5: 9 GNT)”!
Real and sustainable peace begins in the mind and heart, in the will and soul, because peace arises out of genuine appreciation and respect for the other.
Peace is a conscious decision to improve relations and to do everything possible to overcome tensions and misunderstandings; and, if possible, even to become friends.
Peace is the fruit of love. It is ‘give and take,’ a dance with life, for life.
11 Teach me, Lord, what you want me to do, and I will obey you faithfully, teach me to serve you with complete devotion. (Psalm 86: 11 GNT).”
