Let your first words be, “Peace to this house!” And if a man of peace lives there, your peace will go and rest on him; if not, it will come back to you.
Lk.10:6
Jesus instructs the seventy-two for their first mission trip. What are their first words to be on entering a town? "Peace be with you".
These were the first words the world heard from Pope Leo XIV. "Peace be with you." It seems these words are so powerful they cannot fail to achieve what they proclaim. Peace either falls on the hearer or rebounds back on the proclaimer.
The world longs for peace. My world longs for peace. Let my first words today proclaim, "Peace be with you!"
Saint Anthony of Padua, please pray for me.
