What if peace on Earth were more than a greeting sentiment? I wish it was a reality in the human family. Why can’t peace be our way of life, part and parcel of our live? It would be marvelous, if global peace was your job and mine and everyone’s job right now!!

War is not something that we are not aware of. Why speak of the wars against nations. Lets get down to reality and see the amount of hatred in our own hearts. Are we ready to forgive our enemies with an open mind and heart? Ask yourself?

Just reflect on the words by Senator Robert Kennedy: “You can make a difference. Each time a man or a woman stands up for an ideal, acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice. He / She sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. And crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples can create a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance”.

Look at the power of human spirit. It takes two hands to clap and two hearts to love. Every day in the Holy Eucharist of the Roman Catholic Church, we say “Peace be with you”. Do we really make sense of what we say? How long does that peace survive? Do we forgive our enemies with a true forgiving heart?

This is the reality. It all lies in our hands. If we practice peace in our own lives, the day will not be very far.

As it is very well known, once said “Peace is not made by treaties, but in the hearts of men”.

The answer for global peace lies with you and me. There is no other weapon as mighty as love and the spirit of the human community.

Tolerance for other religions” accepting the others as they are; a smile to an enemy; a word of gratitude, a word of sorry, a word of forgiveness, a humble touch to the needy, a thought for peace… All this will go a long way in building a community in its true sense… a peaceful community!!

Lets not dreams, but achieve!!

Wish you all peace in your lives!
