Peace is not a balance of opposing forces


"True peace is not a balance of opposing forces. It is not a lovely ‘façade’ which conceals conflicts and divisions. Peace calls for daily commitment, starting from God’s gift, from the grace which he has given us in Jesus Christ” Pope Francis, Urbi et Orbi Message (25/12/2013)

In his Christmas message, delivered as usual from the loggia of St. Peter’s Square in Rome, Pope Francis prayed for peace, peace as an active commitment, peace as a fruit of God's grace and mercy, peace as something to be shared by every human being.
