A Closer Look: Peace vs Just War

Over the centuries, the Catholic Church has developed a teaching on peace and just war.

Peace, it states, is the result of justice and charity. One must always be a creator of peace and reconciliation.

If relationships between peoples become so tense that war threatens, certain clear conditions for a legitimate defensive war must be maintained. For example, all other means to resolve conflict must have been exhausted before resorting to military force as a way to defend oneself.

Take a closer look at a current conflict in the world. Write about the conflict as an advocate of Peace or Just War.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

- Homily Sunday OT 27 B – It Is Not Good that Man Should Be Alone October 8, 2018
  God didn't create us for solitude, but for communion. This is why we have a deep longing for meaningful relationships (spiritual and emotional intimacy), as well as a deep sense of loneliness. Christ is the answer, and the Church is the means. We are called to be people of communion. Continue reading →

- Homily – Assumption 2018 August 16, 2018
  Today is supposed to be a great and joyful feast in honour of the glory of Mary and the triumph of God’s mercy in her life. It reveals the destiny for which God has created each person. Yet, today the Church finds herself in mourning, covered with shame, confusion and hurt. It's also a call […]
