It is up to each of us to become an artisan of peace: our choice lies at the beginning of peace building. Not turning away means knowing, becoming informed, following events, standing in solidarity with those suffering from war, remembering them in prayer. A living public opinion can influence and change national events and international policies. It can hold back or prevent war, and open avenues for peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrea Riccardi was born in Rome in 1950.
