"To wage war on misery and to struggle against injustice is to promote, along with improved conditions, the human and spiritual progress of all men and therefore the common good of humanity. Peace cannot be limited to the mere absence of war, the result of an ever precarious balance of forces. No, peace is something that is built up day after day in the pursuit of an order intended by God, which implies a more perfect form of justice among men."
When was the last time we were able to achieve that peace? You may want to have more time to weigh your ideas and think things over. During these seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years when we never succeeded to attain peace, it's still good we can have it.
It is in this moment when we are called to create it. For the past decades up to the present, peace has been broken down by several reasons of injustice - gender inequality, disrespect for human rights and dignity, racial discrimination, various religious beliefs, crimes and other forces that oppose our good human spirit.
Peace on earth means bridging the gaps among the nations of the world. An intimate relationship would make it better. We give and we need love. Peace is an echo - whatever you've given, it gets back to you. Above all, letting Him in means true peace inside.
Let us then build bridges instead of walls.
