Grow it
As Christians we've all received the Holy Spirit in the form of a seed. But now we must nurture that seed.

Motivation

His presence is the assurance that peace will come and is already in our midst. His is the life we live, a life that can make use of every effort we make towards the making of peace. Fr James S Behrens
