I Henry, a divine mercy member,
And also for peace, I write to you and the whole world.

Peace be with you,
I write to you because I hear of the love which you have toward peace, and I pray that sharing of your love toward peace may promote the knowledge of the perfect peace.
I am bold enough in Christ to encourage you to do what is required for peace .I prefer to appeal to you for ''mercy'' toward peace, which is indeed useful to us and the whole world, in order that it may serve the world on your behalf for peace; but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might be of your own free will.
Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.
THE KNOWLADGE OF PEACE
Peace is the moral been of unity, is a result of human freedom and fundamental relationship of each person with God, with others and with all of creation. Because peace is not of men, but from God (Phil 4:7-9, peace is our rebellious independence from God, the peace of Holy Spirit. Why’ dove'' always stands as the image of ''Holy spirit'' and ''Peace? Go to the book of (Luke 3:21-22; to see why dove stands as the image of peace and Holy Spirit.
So since the good of peace is linked to human relationship with God, the moral requirements of peace must always be taken into account.
Because there is no peace without justice and no justice without (mercy) forgiveness.

THE MORAL ACT FOR PEACE (MERCY
Proclaim the message fully, that the entire world might hear it. Remind them to be submissive to mercy and any acts of forgiveness, to show perfect courtesy toward all men.
Mercy is a moral act of forgiveness, to be merciful even as your father is merciful (Matt 6:36.Mercy is the love that God offers us, and it is that mercy that He demands from us for peace (Matt 9:13, Titus 3:4-6.Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy (Matt 5:7.

Today, the world is troubled; there is no peace in our hearts, no peace among nations. The path of peace may well be our rebellious independence from God, which found only in God's mercy. Tell the world to snuggle close to God's merciful Heart for peace (Luke 6:36-38.This peace that comes from trusting God's mercy is not just for individual souls, it is also for nations and the world. Make world peace your airm.

ACT OF MERCY
To free the prisoners and the oppressed, for we ourselves were once prisoners in this wicked world of social disorder, anarchy, war, injustice, acts of violence and killing, and also slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy hating one another.
But when goodness and mercy comes, peace follows(Titus 3:1-8,Luke 4:18-19,ls 58:6,61:1, Ps 85:-13.So i desire you to insist on these things so that those who have believed in peace may be careful to apply themselves to good deeds(mercy)for urgent need of peace(Titus 3:14.

PRAYER
Forgive us our sins o Lord! As we forgive those who sin against us. Deliver us, Lord from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
