Yes, it is Man's (therefore, man and woman) responsibility to live in peace and let others live, with the conviction that all of us have to create conditions conducive to harmony and love. Only God can help us form a heart open to peace and love. Peace is God's gift. It is our responsibility and privilege to welcome it or refuse it. That is the mystery of human freedom... If we want peace we have to struggle for justice and peace, namely to create conditions for the incoming of God's Reign, Reign of harmony, justice, love, peace. Ivo da C.Souza
