I will open your graves and have you rise from them. <\/em>\u2014 Ezekiel 37:12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask what violence looks like in our world, and we have myriad examples. In El Salvador, structural violence and interpersonal violence are visible: structurally, the poor majority fight for basic protections against an authoritarian regime, and interpersonally, in my village, the yells of neighbors\u2019 interfamilial violence echo over the tin rooftops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/12\/lebanese-have-what-is-needed-to-build-a-future-of-peace-pope-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">peace<\/a> looks like. We know what it should look like. We often treat it as a future goal, an empyrean, elusive expectation toward which we strive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Martha (\u201cI know [my dead brother Lazarus] will rise in the resurrection on the last day\u201d), we profess that good will triumph over evil in the distant future. We can imagine it sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine Jesus then responding to Martha: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/10\/the-risen-christ-brings-joy-hope-along-lifes-journey-pope-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I am the resurrection<\/a> and the life.\u201d Here. Right now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus tells Martha that the resurrection and the life exist here, now, in the middle of mourning her brother\u2019s death. Not as a future promise on the last day. But right now. In her midst. In him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How Martha must have felt! To imagine goodness in the midst of her brother\u2019s death would be unbearably difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it is with the peace that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2026\/03\/christs-hands-and-feet-in-kenya\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christ<\/a> brings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pope Leo invites us to see peace not as a future reality, but something we cultivate daily: \u201cPeace is more than just a goal; it is a presence and a journey.\u201d Although Pope Paul VI famously pronounced in 1972, \u201cIf you want peace, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/12\/stella-maris-is-fishing-for-justice-in-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">work for justice<\/a>,\u201d the invitation is also as follows: if you want peace, work for peace. Live peace. Imagine peace. Cultivate peace in actions and attitudes that are \u201clived, cultivated, and protected.\u201d It is a \u201cprinciple that guides and defines our choices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working for peace is not a disavowal of a commitment to justice, but rather a reminder that justice operates within the gratuitousness of God\u2019s love and mercy. This calls us to be \u201chouses of peace \u2026 where justice is practiced and forgiveness is cherished.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The village <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2024\/03\/dream-on-lay-missioners-sent-to-serve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">where I serve<\/a> in the mountains of <a href=\"https:\/\/mklm.org\/el-salvador\/joy-as-resistance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">El Salvador<\/a> often models what a \u201chouse of peace\u201d looks like. After civil war fighting razed their homes and after they dwelt for many years as refugees in Honduras, the villagers returned in 1987 to rebuild their entire village. Some families were on one side of the fighting, others on the other side, yet they banded together to construct <a href=\"https:\/\/mklm.org\/el-salvador\/a-small-village-a-wider-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a new life for themselves<\/a>. When a death occurs in the community, everyone drops everything to attend the funeral. Even school is cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet it is far from perfect, our recent community meeting devolved into shouting, derailed by words weaponized (even under the guise of defending certain values). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2024\/08\/a-maryknoll-reflection-from-el-salvador-by-sister-madeline-dorsey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Old wounds still run deep<\/a>. After all, not everyone in the village was on the same side of the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, everyone stayed the entire meeting. No villager walked out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not simply an example of practicing justice, of giving people their due. This is an example of peacebuilding. It is messy. When you commit to it, you undoubtedly look foolish. \u201cWhy go to those meetings?\u201d some villagers told me. \u201cNothing gets done. You\u2019ll see.\u201d But you know what? You can\u2019t be a peacemaker to some without being a joke and an embarrassment to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the thing about peace. It is disarming. It looks foolish, just like the Christ who entered into the world <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/11\/child-king-a-maryknoll-reflection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as an unarmed child<\/a> and tells us, \u201cPut your sword back into its sheath\u201d (Jn 18:11; cf. Mt 26:52).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The community meeting made very little, if any, progress. But villagers keep showing up. Peacebuilding looks slow. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/06\/decisions-must-be-rooted-in-nonviolence-pope-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nonviolence<\/a> looks ineffective. Peace must be remembered, sought, and chosen over and over again. Our readings tell us that evil will not have the last word. Love will win out. Thus says the Lord, \u201cI have promised, and I will do it.\u201d (Ezekiel 37:14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Maryknoll Lay Missioner Sarah Bueter, who joined the organization in 2023, serves in a variety of ministries based in La Ceiba, Chalatenango, a rural village belonging to St. Joseph\u2019s parish.
