Now more than ever, our Franciscan charisma is showing how to bring peace and goodness where there is unrest, darkness, and war.
Children arriving at our reception centers play, watch cartoons, and even forget that there is war around them, and some adults may be picking up rosaries for the first time in their lives, praying on their knees, learning to sing religious songs, and experiencing the true peace that cannot be achieved through tanks or other weapons, because we have and believe in the exact peace that Jesus Christ left us: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."
