You can do what I can’t do, I can do what you can’t do. Together, we can do something beautiful for God. Everything Starts from Prayer by Mother Teresa |
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind. Ghandi

"There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways."
— Mother Teresa.
Let there be Peace on Earth, and let it begin with me.
Let there be Peace on Earth, the Peace that was meant to be.
With God as Creator, family all are we.
Let me walk with my family, in perfect harmony.
Let Peace begin with me, let this be the moment now.
With ever step I take, let this be my joyous vow-
To take each moment and live each moment, in Peace eternally,
Let there be Peace on Earth, and let it begin with me.
