Peace in Our Hearts: A Journey of Peace Within and Justice Around Us
Moe Nagpal and Kelly Gauthier,
The St. Francis of Assisi Peace and Justice Committee
Peace in Our Hearts: A Journey of Peace Within and Justice Around Us / We will reflect on how peace begins in our hearts and flows into the way we live our faith. We will discern concrete ways God is calling us to be peacemakers—standing for truth, practicing charity, and serving others—and leave with practical spiritual practices and actions to bring the peace of Christ into our families, relationships, and communities. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” — Matthew 5:9*
