International Day of Peace

Please join Labouré College in celebrating today, the International Day of Peace. Today and every day we reflect on how we can be an instrument of God's peace in our community and in the wider world.

“Peace is not merely the absence of war. Nor can it be reduced solely to the maintenance of a balance of power between enemies. Nor is it brought about by dictatorship. Instead, it is rightly and appropriately called an enterprise of justice. Peace results from that harmony built into human society by its divine founder, and actualized by people as they thirst after ever greater justice.” (Second Vatican Council, Gaudium et Spes, #78)

 

Prayer:

Creator God, on this International Day of Peace, we remember that war and violence continue to maim, kill and destroy. Hundreds of thousands of hu­man beings look at their sisters and brothers over the barrels of guns, cannons and missiles. May we hear Your voice that counsels forgiveness, compassion, patience and dialogue. May we “thirst after ever greater justice,” so that we might contribute to a peaceful world. May we act on behalf of peace, not only today, but all of the days of our life.

Amen.
