Catholic Archdiocese of Perth

Welcome.

Violence surrounds us in the world today. Not just the violence of war and terrorism, but violence in our streets - even in our homes.

This is an appalling situation, but we accept it as the way life is.

We even react by wishing violence on those who commit violence.

The world can be different if we reject violence and instead choose love, forgiveness and reconciliation.

Those who have the courage to keep their hearts and their minds free of violent impulses enjoy peace and freedom. They also build peace and freedom around them.

Put your faith in love and forgiveness at home, at work, wherever you are, and you will build a better life and a better world.

This is God's way.

I am Archbishop Barry Hickey
