Peace Building to Address the Underlying Causes of Conflict

Peace making and peace building have seen to be important topics since the evolution of humankind. It is not just related to making peace with people you know or are close to, but with everyone around you, whether you know them or not. There are seen to be various disputes because of the lack of understanding and peace between the people. We need to improve and adapt the measures not just for the sake of personal benefit but for the nation as a whole. 

 

Importance of Peace Building 

  • It helps to avoid conflicts and allows people to live in harmony. It also helps to prevent conflicts in areas where there are none.
  • If seen on a grander scale, it also helps to create peace among individuals in the community and country.
  • Peace Seeking safeguards lives and properties by building peace and restricting violence. 
  • Creates a sense of unity among individuals.


Ways to Build Peace 

  • Always keep your mind and thoughts open to listen to the next person and understand their point of view.
  • Meditate on a daily basis to keep your mind calm.
  • Allow others to express their opinions when you are not sure about anything.
  • Put forward the happiness of others before yourself, just like taught in Jesus and justice conferences.
  • Follow a path that you wish others to follow you on, not the one that people follow blindly.
  • Make peace with the fact that you cannot be right all the time. Allow others to highlight the points where you are wrong.
  • Always believe in forgiving others irrespective of the anger you have. 
  • Increase your tolerance power to get a hold of your anger issues.
  • Show empathy for others feelings and work, keeping in mind they also have a heart that desires love and peace.

 

Not all of us might understand the importance of peace making at first, but with time you can learn the ways to make peace with others without getting violent or aggressive. There are various peace talks that teach you ways to keep your mind in control, irrespective of the situation you are in. To live in harmony is the most incredible way to live a life.

 

At The Center for Formation, Justice, and Peace, we believe every individual is equal and deserves the same amount of respect. Understanding and caring about other individuals’ feelings is what makes you capable of making peace.

Jesus and Justice Conference for Conflict Free Society

  When we talk about peace and human security, both depend on the situations where justice prevails and a conflict-free society. No matter what form of conflict is there, it contributes to the denial of justice. It contributes to the denial of the dignity and rights of people and communities. And this can even lead to consequences of violent conflicts. That is why churches and ecumenical councils must contribute to their witness in the protection of individuals and communities. They work with others to build peaceful societies. Jesus and justice conference is all about building peaceful societies.   Justice is involved and included in every form of concern related to social, economic, political, and ecological. Considering that human security is multi-dimensional, it is justice that has an impact on these securities.   As far as peace seeking and making are concerned, there are Churches working for this mission aiming at peacebuilding and peace theology. It help...

The Importance of Peace Making In Building a Community

What is it that makes a society worth living in? It is the people that live around us. Living in peace is both an inward as well as an outward process. Inwardly, we need to find in our hearts the things that make us fearful of losing our temper and jumping to violent ways. Outwardly, it is a way of life where we treat each other equally and love others despite their culture, caste, religion, or political differences. Peace making is as important as living a healthy and balanced life.   You can practice a few things in your everyday life to make your life more peaceful and live in harmony.

Finding the Ideal Center of Spiritual Information

Let's get one thing straight: it's difficult to find a good spiritual director or a center for spiritual information. Those who are serious about developing their prayer and interior life, on the other hand, must keep looking until they find a good fit—someone who is pursuing holiness, knowledgeable about prayer and the Catholic faith, devoted to the Magisterium, and profoundly eager to support your spiritual development and help you recognize the workings of the Holy Spirit in your life—even if they aren't the "perfect" person.   Although there is no one best way to go about it, there are a few tried-and-true steps you can take to find an ideal center for spiritual formation right away: ●      Speak with your pastor. He may not accept you as a student, but as the spiritual father of your parish (and thus you!), he is a good place to start and may be able to recommend another priest, religious, or layperson from your parish or diocese. Even if your priest c...
