It is up to us to walk together on the paths he has traced out for us as the founding father of our nation,”<\/strong> he advised. He also stressed that “it is true that peace is a gift from God, but peace will not come to us from Heaven as a finished product, for peace is like a loincloth that we must weave together”<\/strong>.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
