World Peace:
"We are peacemakers, expressing God's love in the world." (DW, 7.4.09)
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." (Mat. 5.9)
Mei Meditatio:
Peacemaking begins within. Focusing on God's Unity and Love in my awareness and attitude, with the mind of Christ I create a contented situation with my inner being.
However, for peacemaking to be fulfilled and at its greatest expression, it must not be relegated only the the inner realm. Having centered on the Love of God in Christ and filled with this all-inclusive, self-sacrificial Love I extend it out from myself in concrete acts and deeds that promote the well-being of others in my relationships and in society as a whole through equality, justice, and community-building. In doing this, I emulate the life and teachings of Jesus, my way-shower, master, and thus savior.
In the name and through the power of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior. Amen.
