- When people lack peace in their soul or family when the society lacks peace, everything is disturbed, all are saddened, and all reach a state of confusion.
-
Divine peace is the harmony built by the Holy Spirit in the human soul, causing self-observance, the observance of God’s love and the love of fellow people.
-
Given the context of today’s world that is troubled by misunderstandings and wars, we need more than ever peace-makers, that is, all those who can prevent or settle conflicts existing between people, in society, or among peoples.
-
We must always keep the peace and unity of Christ’s Church.
-
Every individual life can be fully cultivated only in peace and harmony with God, with our fellow people and with the environment.
-
Peace is a gift from God, and it must be earnestly pursued, gratefully received, and permanently cultivated in the soul, the family and the life of society.
-
Where there is no peace, there are disturbances, tensions, violence, conflicts and even wars that kill people and destroy material goods.
-
Saint Paul’s prophetic voice calls us to seek Christ’s peace “which surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7) and to become peacemakers.
-
The Saints of the Orthodox Church say that social peace depends greatly on the spiritual peace, expressed in one’s love towards God and towards others.
-
Peace is a blessing from God.
