Everyone has a place in the mosaic of peace!
The Rosary, like other ancient forms of prayer, has united us this evening in its steady rhythm built on repetition. Peace gains ground in the same way: word by word, deed by deed, just as a rock is hollowed out drop by drop or fabric woven stitch by stitch. These are the slow rhythms of life, a sign of God’s patience. We must not allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by the pace of a world that does not know what it is chasing. Rather, we must return to serving the rhythm of life, the harmony of creation, and healing its wounds. As Pope Francis taught us, “There is a need for peacemakers, men and women prepared to work boldly and creatively to initiate processes of healing and renewed encounter. There is an architecture of peace, to which different institutions of society contribute, each according to its own area of expertise. There is an art of peace that involves us all."
