“Your peace you gave us Your heart divine, Your blood was spilled What a mighty prize. Grant us now Thy tender mercy, Your peace surrounds us now. Let every heart, tongue and nation, Before you Jesus, bow. Peace peace, You brought us peace Let us dwell at Your table, On what You provide we feast Take our hand in this brokenness Hold us gently oh Lord We pray and ask you for Your presence Lead us through this wilderness.”

“Revolution means literally a complete reversal of the old power relationships, with its embedded institutions. So yes, we need a total revolution. It is time for the sacred to come forward, for we are indeed sacred beings. That much is clear from history. For too long we have been told: "That's the way things have always been done." Not true. Our earth and humanity has been around a long time, and there is a peaceful instinct inherent in human beings. There have been harmonious times in the past, and there is no reason for not working to achieve a greater humanity today. I strive to be part of that humanity. In The Women of La Raza, we learn of how much "today's values" have been forced upon us as "traditions" by colonizers who want us to behave within a certain mindset, conforming to the status quo. They consider profits first, despite the global conflicts and suffering it has caused throughout the centuries. It is past time for us to ask the kind of questions that gives us, not only answers, but places us in a quest for solutions to the spiritual and social problems facing the world today.”
