I got together with my prayer group last night. We read and talked about this Sunday’s upcoming Gospel. In this reading, Jesus Christ appeared to His apostles after He was resurrected. The first thing He said to them was, “Peace be with you.” In our meeting, we talked a lot about that elusive peace that we seem to have for a short while, then it’s gone. We need to keep going back to Jesus over and over again asking for His peace. Today, one of the participants shared a video that reflected on the same reading and the same topic. It supported and expanded our thoughts. I particularly appreciated the reminder to pray the prayer of St. Francis – Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

I Found God today in a reminder of the peace He has to offer.
