As we pursue this inner journey and disarm our hearts, heal our internal divisions, seek inner reconciliation, and make peace with the God within, we can speak about disarmament, reconciliation, and peace with greater authenticity and integrity.... We begin to embody our message. Because our message is rooted in our very being, in the God of peace who lives in us, our peace will spread out around us, even throughout the world, because it will be God's own peace springing forth.
-Fr. John Dear
