Cardinal Turkson speaks on women and conflict resolution
April 15, 2015
Cardinal Peter Turkson, the president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, delivered the opening address at a conference devoted to women’s leadership in conflict resolution.
The US Embassy to the Holy See was among the cosponsors of the conference, which took place at the Angelicum.
Cardinal Turkson reflected on “women in prominent roles,” “women teachers and witnesses to peace,” “solidarity among women in conflict resolution,” and “Mary, model of peace.”
“I wish also that all women may be helped always to choose life and to take their place on the side of life,” he concluded. “Let us think of grandmothers, aunts, mothers, daughters and sisters and all consecrated women who, in their daily lives, work quietly and anonymously for peace. We do not know your face, but your face is the face of love.”
