War seems to be the most destructive and horrific type of human interaction. No other venue allows people to kill each other in such massive numbers or to cause such incredible and widespread suffering. Wars often take years to develop‚ can last for years longer‚ and the effects reverberate for decades if not centuries. If war is so awful‚ why do people continue to allow it to happen?

My favorite bible verse is John 14:17 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. To me this reminds me that Jesus is my savior and I have the gift of sacrament and eternal life. This gives me peace and hope. In a world of bad news and stressful events he tells us to not be afraid‚ that he will take care of us ultimately. He tells us he does not give like the world; we cannot “earn his gifts”
