Peace in the world comes about when we seek and work for the justice of our neighbor and the world. The two go hand in hand.

Today we will celebrate Christ’s resurrection, as rightly we should. But the cleansing effect of our Lenten sacrifices can stay with us for however long we choose to remember them.
