Lasting peace

We know very well that peace is not just the absence of war. Peace doesn't even imply passivity or non-involvement. Sometimes, we face our wars to attain lasting peace. Some wars include the proper relationship with one another based on justice and charity, not abusing people to our advantage. Peace I believe is the most active word. It entails becoming free from the shackles of darkness; it involves total commitment to sustain and develop peace; and a lasting commitment to bring it up to the source of Peace - our eternal salvation in heaven. Peace is Jesus' way starting from his birth till now - every act of sacrifice and patience for the sake of those he loves. The very work of salvation is peace. There is no way to peace; peace is the way.
