On this Veterans Day weekend, we pause to honor the courage, service, and sacrifice of those who have served our country. Inspired by the words of Jesus, “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends,” we reflect on the deeper meaning of love expressed through service, compassion, and selflessness. As we remember those who have given so much, we also affirm a vision of a world transformed by peace—a world where love triumphs over conflict, where differences are resolved without violence, and where no one is ever again called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice of war.
