Menno Simons fascinates me. Born in 1496, he was a Catholic priest who eventually broke away from the Church and became a key leader in the Anabaptist movement. What I admire most about him is his unwavering commitment to peace. In a time marked by religious conflict and bloodshed, Menno stood out for his conviction that true Christianity must be rooted in love and non-violence.
His words, “True Christians do not know vengeance. They are the children of peace. Their hearts overflow with peace. Their mouths speak peace, and they walk in the way of peace,” resonate deeply with me. There’s something profoundly powerful about his insistence that peace isn’t just a belief but a way of life. It’s a constant challenge to live in such a way today—where peace shapes our actions, our words, and our very hearts.
