In all human hears, we all want peace and justice. We want to live in peace with one another. Unfortunately, there are things beyond our control, like war. We can only do our part as Christians to keep stomping heaven for peace in the world. For years, we've seen Novena petitions asking for peace in our families. Peace is not about absence of problems. What's important is to have that inner peace, so that we can bring peace to others. Let's play our role as peacemakers.
