TODAY’S WORD…
.
Jesus said,
“Peace I bequeath to you,
my own peace I give you,
a peace the world cannot give,
this is my gift to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
.
– John 14:27 (JB)

REFLECTION…
.
“A peace the world cannot give”
The peace of the world can be superficial and misleading
.
The peace Christ gives us
is that deep inner comforting peace,
which only comes if we entrust ourselves totally to Him,
knowing that He is always by our side;
that He loves and cares for us beyond our comprehension;
that He will lead us safely through thick and thin.
.
The peace Christ gives us is
"serenity of mind,
tranquillity of soul,
simplicity of heart,
a bond of love,
a union of charity.” (St. Augustine)

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…
.
O God of Love, O King of Peace,
empty me from myself,
and fill me with Your peace.
