International Day of Peace

International Day of Peace: 21 September

Let’s add a Marist contribution to the Minute of Silence/Moment of Peace–
inaugurated in 1984 by the NGO Pathway to Peace in solidarity with the United Nations Peace Day.

Take a Minute of Silence at 12:00 Noon- whatever your time zone – and let’s create together a “Peace Wave” around the world. It is one small way to be a peace builder.

Then ask yourself the question:
What does peace mean to me?

We can all be peace builders by taking small practical steps. We can prevent an injustice at school, work or in our community by adopting a non-violent approach to problem solving and reporting potential crimes, including online bullying.

Lord, make us channels of your peace! Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us!
