Disarming Our Hearts is an invitation to cultivate peace from the inside out. Inspired by the charism of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, this ongoing ministry encourages us to examine the attitudes, fears, assumptions, and divisions that can take root within our hearts and communities, while nurturing the compassion, courage, and understanding needed to become instruments of peace.

Through videos, reflections, discussion materials, prayer resources, and other companion resources, Disarming Our Hearts explores the many ways peace-making begins with personal transformation and extends outward into our relationships, communities, and world. Each resource is designed to encourage thoughtful reflection, meaningful conversation, and practical action rooted in hope and nonviolence.

Whether you are exploring these materials on your own, with a small group, within a faith community, or as part of a larger peace-building effort, we hope these resources provide encouragement and inspiration for the journey. We invite you to explore the collection below and discover new ways to cultivate peace within yourself and share it with others.
