Jean Vanier’s Daily Thought – Sunday,
29 December 2013 “Peace”
So many in our world today are
suffering from isolation, war and oppression. So much money is spent on the
construction of armaments. Many, many young people are in despair ... Today as
never before, we need communities of welcome; communities that are a sign of
peace in a world of war. There is no point in praying for peace in the Middle
East, for example, if we are not peace-makers in our own community; if we are
not forgiving those in our community who have hurt us or with whom we find it
difficult to live. Young people, as well as those who are older, are sensitive
to this vision of peace. It must continually be announced so that hearts and
minds are nourished.(Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, page 177)
