Pax Christi
“By this shall all men know that
you are My
disciples if you have love one for
another.”
Pax Christi
is a Movement basically spiritual and ecumenical, born in the midst of a
civilisation-consuming crisis. It calls to all Christians, in the name of
Christ their personal Saviour, seeking to create and maintain in them a
continuing awareness that His claims have primacy. Pax Christi has one central,
all-consuming objective. It seeks to rally the united, massed strength of the
whole body of Christians to speedily destroy War ~ the destroyer of the Unity
of the Body of Christ. It is a peace action Movement. Every believer is needed.
You are needed, and called to begin at once to work with your fellow disciples
until every member of the Body of Christ is enlisted for simultaneous action ~ “that
the world may believe.” When disciples act together to rid the world of War
they will manifest the Unity of the Body of Christ in a way that the whole
world will understand. Then the world shall know the power and the victory of
the Prince of Peace in the fulfilment of the ancient Prophecy: “They shall
beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks:
nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war
anymore.” (Isaiah 2: 4). People of all nations have always responded to the
call of their governments to make War. Shall not believers of all nations
respond to Christ’s call to make Peace?
