“PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU; MY PEACE I GIVE TO YOU. NOT AS THE WORLD GIVES DO I GIVE IT TO YOU.” JN 14:27-31
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
The world’s false peace: according to St. Thomas Aquinas they are money, power, pleasure, and honor
The peace that God gives us through Jesus: reconciliation by a repentant sinner/mercy, holiness, joy, enduring our worry and anxiety with us, mission and purpose, a reason to get up and love, to help others by giving our love and joy away, a divine Person to be with us in our suffering who understands, a God/Father who keeps His covenant and loves us more than we love ourselves, He is always merciful and forgiving, He is always faithful, He is radically in love with us and desires an intimate relationship with us.
St. Augustine, “My heart is restless until it rests in You.”
Today’s challenge: Receive the peace that Jesus wants to offer you, allow Him to transform you.
Be a servant, be a saint today!
