Peace, Peace, Peace con’t!

Reading $eace is something we all stri'e for in our li'es. any times we ask God to bring

peace to our minds, our hearts and our relationships with others. &hen Jesus appeared to hisdisciples after his :esurrection, he knew their interior distress and so he offers peace.

$eace is not simply the absence of conflict. $eace is the reality that e;ists when hea'en and earthconnect. -he peace that Jesus offers the disciples and us is the knowledge that God is present, thatGod cares and that God will be with us always. adapted from 4oyola $ress 86minute retreat, Peace of Mind and Heart ((H8H(+

Prayer Response ALL: Jesus, through your Spirit, share your peace with us so

that we may offer peace to others thus building your kingdom of peace.

Personal Reflection

&hen has someone made the peaceable kingdom a reality for meI

2ow do 0 share God’s gift of peace with the persons 0 ser'eI

Prayer ALL: Awaken, my heart, God’s reign is hereC

the $eaceable Bingdom is in my hands.-he wolf can be the guest of the lamb and

the bear and cow be friends, then no inury or hate can be a guest

within the kingdom of my heart.Eden’s peace and harmony will only return

when first, in my heart,there hides no harm or ruin,

for the $eaceable Bingdom is in my hands.0saiah’s dream became Jesus’ 'ision< "%ome, follow me,7 Emmanuel’s echo rings.

":eform your life, reco'er Eden’s peace,7 for only then will sal'ation appear.1or Ad'ent’s dream is the healing of earth, when the eagle and bear become friends,

the child and the serpent playmates. Arise, awaken my heart, the $eaceable Bingdom is in your hands.
