Pope Francis suggested that we should ask God for the grace of “the
wisdom to make peace, in the little things of each day, but aiming at the
horizons of the whole of humanity,” especially today, in which “we are living a
war and all are seeking peace.” And in the meantime, he said, it would be good
to start with this question:
“How is your heart, today? Is it at peace? If it is not at peace,
before speaking of peace, make sure your own heart is at peace. How is your family,
today? Is it at peace? If you are not able to bring peace to your family, your
rectory, your congregation, bringing it more peace, then words of peace for the
world are not enough. This is the question that I would like to ask today: How
is the heart of each one of us? Is it at peace? How is the family of each one
of us? Is it at peace? That’s how it is, isn’t it? To achieve peace in the
world.”
