Blessed are the peacemakers not peacelovers

Nothing is so strong as gentleness; nothing so gentle as real strength
~ St. Francis de Sales

We plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives, so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy and doubt, that peace and abundance may manifest for all.
~ Dorothy Day

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peace makers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness
~ James 3:17-18

Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It is the product of Faith, Strength, Energy, Will, Sympathy, Justice, Imagination, and the triumph of principle. It will never be achieved by passivity and quietism.
~ Dorothy Thompson

War is as outmoded as cannibalism, chattel slavery, blood-feuds, and dueling, an insult to God and humanity...a daily crucifixion of Christ.

~ Muriel Lester

Watch well over your seed-things and children. Speak wisely to them, our new children!Henceforth they shall be your first speakers, and the peacemaking shields of your people.
~Author Unknown

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.

~ Mother Teresa

It's been two days since Peace Day (21st September)... love... pursue peace... demonstrate it daily... if not for yourself, then for your children or future children... love deeply, for love is of God.
