"In the run up to war nobody takes time to listen to the hearts of the kids who will have to fight. No one bothers to ask the moms if they want to send their sons to kill the sons of other moms. The sorrowful consequences of war outlive us all. Enough already! The killing must stop. Don't just watch, work for peace."

U.S. Catholic priest Father Joe Maier, 2009 Ambassador of Child Protection for Thailand and co-founder of Bangkok's Human Development Foundation/Mercy Centre charities. Subject of The Gospel of Father Joe: Revolutions & Revelations in the Slums of Bangkok.
