Parish News: Fourteenth Sunday and Week of the Year

True peace is not something that can simply be imposed; it must also be desired – one of the many insights from this Sunday’s gospel. So as we pray and work for peace in our lives, community and world we must seek not only the means of reconciliation. We must also ask God that through us he might inspire in others a yearning for his peace.
