Transforming conflict into peace

Data: 18/12/2024

Conflicts are an integral part of life in society. Social life is marked by different types of conflicts. They can be verbal but also non-verbal. They could also be armed as well as aggressive attitudes and behaviours which are signs of the difficulties of living together in harmony. I have not only experienced conflicts but also been involved and implicated in several situations of conflicts. I have lived and worked in conflict zones, rebellious contexts as well as in war zones. Some of these situations were well beyond our control. However, what counts is not the existence of conflicts but how we handle them.

A simple self-appraisal is all it takes to realise this: how do I spend my time in the 24 hours that make up a day? *How much time do I have to rest? *How much time do I spend at work but not working? *How much time do I spend surfing the internet or social networks, reading or sending messages, listening to audio, watching videos or looking at photos? *How much time do I reserve for prayer? *How much time do I spend relaxing other than on NICTs?

Letter to Father Deguerry, Superior of Saint Cyprien des Attafs Village (11th November 1872)
My dear Son,
I am advising you once again about what I told you two days ago. I sent you to the Attafs as a Missionary and not as a farmer. You are not in the slightest in charge of directing the work, which is Brother Jérôme’s field, but only to give general direction from the religious and moral point of view and for the exact carrying out of the duties entrusted to each individual.
