Reflection
slide 3
Jesus is our role model for peace. From his birth, and throughout his life, He lived, shared, and preached about peace.
In the nowadays world there are numerous people who with their actions are models of peace among which Muhammad Ali was a boxer and refused to serve in the US military during the Vietnam war. He was arrested, stripped of his title as a professional boxer, and fined $10,000. Through his courageous action, he believed that peace is the only way that makes human beings stronger. People who have responsibilities and carry them out dutifully and with the right intent are all models of peace.
