Divisions

Divisions occur often among people. The divisions can be trivial or serious. They can be brief or longer lasting. Divisions can lead to conflict and even war. We can be agents of peace, unity and reconciliation. We can learn the skills that promote mutual respect and acceptance. “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.”
