St. Francis said he was going to the village to preach and asked a young monk to accompany him. They walked through the forest and when they got to the village St. Francis walked straight down the main street of the village from one end to the other, then turned around and walked back. When he was finished, he headed off to the trail that would take them home. Confused, the young monk asked: I thought we were going to preach. St Francis said, We did.

... To be visible was enough; to continue to be a reminder to others that there is another way, to continue to reinforce the resolve of those who share that view, and to plant the seed of peace in those too young to have any influence now but with whom the future lies.

Peace be with you. Stand for Peace.
