Planting a peace pole completely lacks substance unless you put the idea into action. Sounds like your daughter is wise beyond her years in that respect!

Planting one without understanding the true meaning of peace (the peace that comes from Jesus Christ)is where many people have missed the boat. What they do is not much different from the folks who wear rosaries around their necks because they're "fashionable" or the houses that display walls full of crosses because they're a current decorating trend. It's one more reason why we need to pray without ceasing and work to spread the Good News. <BR/><BR/>My daughter is in a Sisters of Mercy college that holds regular prayer services by their campus peace pole. (The school sounds the Angelus everyday, too.)They work with the nearby Franciscan university to live out the Catholic traditions of the two schools. The things they've done to bring light to the surrounding economically depressed community are nothing short of miraculous. I think these students know peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-61391706665852366922008-10-17T14:04:00.000-06:002008-10-17T14:04:00.000-06:00What do your neighbors consider peace!?

A peace pole sounds like something from the "New Age" religion. Sounds like something Oprah would promote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
