During the month of November we focused on the virtue of PEACE at Josyf Cardinal Slipyj. The scripture passage that guides us this month is:
“Peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you”
John 14:27
As we celebrate the Year of Faith, we connect the virtue of peace to the sign of peace. We extend a sign of peace to those around us, our family, friends, neighbours, and strangers. Catholic social teaching reminds us that we are one human family whatever our national, racial, ethnic, religious, economic and ideological differences. We are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers, wherever they may be. Loving our neighbour has global dimensions in a shrinking world. The Gospel calls us to be peacemakers. What can you do to be a peacemaker in your family, your class, our school, our city and in the world?
