"Peace is a product of justice, but justice is not enough. Love is also necessary. The love that makes us feel that we're brothers and sisters is properly what makes true peace. Peace is the product of justice and love."
-Oscar Romero
In Spanish, paz means peace. As a Jesuit volunteer, I will intentionally spend the next two years engaged in social justice, simple living, spirituality and community. I will be serving as an English teacher in a Jesuit school, helping with pastoral ministry and living in community with three other Jesuit volunteers. My blog is an invitation into my life as a peacemaker. I hope to share what I learn about justice and love through my experiences accompanying my brothers and sisters in Tacna, Peru. Thank you for your desire to walk with me in my journey.
Paz,
Maddie
