Strive for justice and peace

---

Lamentably, violence permeates much of our culture and poisons the well-being of too many individuals, families and communities. Of course, violence is a problem worldwide, but it’s especially sorrowful here in the United States, one of the planet’s wealthiest nations, steeped in religious values and a leader in global peacemaking. As Jesus’ followers, called to be salt of the earth and light to the world, we can make a difference by sharing God’s love and forgiveness.
