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.
Jn.14:27
Jesus is about to experience the unspeakable violence of his passion and death. What does he first want to give to his disciples? Peace.
Peace in the world can only start with peace in me. One tiny pebble can break the tranquil surface of a pond. I need peace in my heart to then pass that on to those about me.
I take up Jesus' offer. I exchange my troubled and fearful heart for his own peace, a peace the world cannot give.
Come Lord Jesus calm the waters in my heart with your peace.
