it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Another International Day of Peace is here. Maybe it’s a moment to pause—without judgment, just kindly and honestly—and ask: What have I done to foster peace this year? Where have I fallen short? Where might I begin again today?
