  1. When people lack peace in their soul or family when the society lacks peace, everything is disturbed, all are saddened, and all reach a state of confusion.<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    \n

    Divine peace is the harmony built by the Holy Spirit in the human soul, causing self-observance, the observance of God\u2019s love and the love of fellow people.<\/li>\n

  3. \n
    \n

    Given the context of today\u2019s world that is troubled by misunderstandings and wars, we need more than ever peace-makers, that is, all those who can prevent or settle conflicts existing between people, in society, or among peoples.<\/li>\n

  4. \n
    \n

    We must always keep the peace and unity of Christ\u2019s Church.<\/li>\n

  5. \n
    \n

    Every individual life can be fully cultivated only in peace and harmony with God, with our fellow people and with the environment.<\/li>\n

  6. \n
    \n

    Peace is a gift from God, and it must be earnestly pursued, gratefully received, and permanently cultivated in the soul, the family and the life of society.<\/li>\n

  7. \n
    \n

    Where there is no peace, there are disturbances, tensions, violence, conflicts and even wars that kill people and destroy material goods.<\/li>\n

  8. \n
    \n

    Saint Paul\u2019s prophetic voice calls us to seek Christ\u2019s peace \u201cwhich surpasses all understanding\u201d (Philippians 4:7) and to become peacemakers.<\/li>\n

  9. \n
    \n

    The Saints of the Orthodox Church say that social peace depends greatly on the spiritual peace, expressed in one\u2019s love towards God and towards others.<\/li>\n

  10. \n
    \n

    Peace is a blessing from God.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
