Peace is courage

Peace is not cowardice or an urge to avoid every conflict. There is a false peace that keeps silent out of fear, and a true one that dares to talk when it would be easier to attack. Being peaceful demands self-control, humility, and considerable courage. You have to admit mistakes, lower your tone, and look for a way out without needing to humiliate. Christ calls blessed those who work for peace. Not those who never face troubles, but those who walk through them with love.
