Welcoming peace within us and building it around us

Receiving and building peace

After a reading of the Gospel of Saint Luke as the Gospel of peace, we will have a daily teaching on peace: peace received, peace shared, inner peace.

Some guideposts will be shared with us to help us respond to our calling as peacemakers.

By Father Michel Desplanches, rector, and a Sister.
