The 16 Documents of Vatican II

Resolution  


Reflection
 179:   Based on the Vatican II document 
Gaudium et Spes (Church in the world) 
Article 78

 

World peace is an enterprise of justice and love.

Injustice is the breeding ground of hatred, terrorism and war

Terrorism will not be defeated by bombs and guns.
Terrorism will only be defeated when it has no air to breathe,
the air of injustice and hatred

We praise those who renounce the use of violence in the vindication of their rights

Jesus, you slew hatred in your own flesh.
Please pour forth the Spirit of love into our hearts
