Peace

 

Peace is not the product of terror or fear.

Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.

Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.

Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all.

Peace is dynamism.

Peace is generosity.

It is a right and it is a duty.

 

St. Archbishop Oscar Romero.

The 4th Archbishop of San Salvador who was murdered while saying Mass on 24th March 1980.
