Peace thoughts

[ron ellingson]

Following are some peace thoughts from Jean Vanier:

[Prophets of peace] have lived and proclaimed a path of non-violence.
They have been
able to do this because they received support and lived with a
community of men
and women of like minds and hearts. "When I despair," said Mahatma
Gandhi, "I remember
that throughout history the way of truth and love has always won.
There have been tyrants
and murderers and for a time they can seem invincible. But in the end
they always fall.
Think of it always...whenever you are in doubt that that is God's way
- the way the world
is meant to be. Think of that and then try to do His way."
