The Peace We Seek

The peace Jesus gives to us through the Holy Spirit is more than we can ever imagine.

• Peace means the cessation of all warfare, but it also means much more.
• Peace means a feeling of inner well-being, but it also means much more.
• Peace means an end to psychological tensions, but it also means much more.
• Peace means halting interpersonal conflicts, but it also means much more.
• Peace means the settling of silence on the soul, but it also means much more.

In Valyermo, California , the Benedictines converted a 400-acre ranch into a religious community called St. Andrew’s Priory. As you enter the grounds, you find that the land is posted: “No Hunting Except for Peace.”

The world is hunting for peace. What will we give it?

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

— Jesus

Prayer

Jesus our peace, if our lips keep silence, our heart listens to you and also speaks to you. And you say to each one of us: surrender yourself in all simplicity to the life of the Holy Spirit; for this, the little bit of faith you have is enough. Amen
