Way of Peace: a path of witnesses

Credible Christian witnessses wanted
Vatican Radio) The importance of credible Christian witness to overcome indifference and religious illiteracy: that was the theme at the heart of Pope Francis’ message on Monday to members of the Pontifical Council for New Evangelization.

Peace Is Not a Destination
Let me ask you something. What is the best place in the world? For some, it’s that beach you always dream about. For others, a cozy rental house on a family trip, the honeymoon destination, the mountains, a silent retreat, or simply home. That place where you feel like dropping everything and staying forever. And if you’ve never thought like that… maybe you’ve just been traveling to the wrong places.  But let me ask something deeper. Do you really think those places are always peaceful? That there is no chaos, no conflict, no noise, no disorder? Because even when we change the scenery, the human heart remains the same. I have been to truly paradisiacal places. Places that make you ...

Salt of the Earth and Light of the World: The Identity and Mission of the Disciple
