Blessed are the peacemakers. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news of peace: peace between God and humanity, peace among humans. And yet it can be difficult to see that peace in our broken, violent world.

May it be so.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
