Peace

Peace on earth, peace in our life time, peace and love, peace that passes understanding...phrases you may hear perhaps not every day but certainly very often. Peace...can we achieve it?

As you all learn and grow into adults, you will make your own decisions as where you stand on the issue of war...is war to be avoided at all costs? Is war justified sometimes? Prayerful consideration and time spent in communion with God will show you your path. We cannot control the world at large, we cannot even control our own community...we can control our heart. Spend time in prayer and study and then listen, Christ will lead the way...

If there is to be peace in the world,

There must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart. amen
