Just a few
thoughts

"There was a time, even in our churches,
when people spoke of a holy war or a just war. Today we cannot speak in this
manner. A Christian awareness of the importance of peace has developed. Wars
are always unjust, since it is the people of God who pay. Our hearts cannot but
weep before the children and women killed, along with all the victims of war.
War is never the way."
"The real answer is not more weapons, more sanctions, or more
political-military alliances, but rather a different approach, a different way
of governing the world." – Pope Francis
What is the way about? Francis points to the school of Jesus, of Gandhi
and particularly of "women who have cultivated and cherished life."

The first duty of love is to listen. -- Paul

For Christian believers and communities around
the world, may the Holy Spirit set their hearts on fire with all-embracing
love.
