we hear this after every Mass... It is our mission, our lifeline.
In Peace
Before being able to soar in the winds of Divine Love, before being able to live the depths of Joy of sacrificial Love, first, above and before we have to be at Peace. We have to walk in Peace. To go in Peace. A long time ago I learned a lesson, that once again I need to remember. At the time I was disturbed because I was not at peace (get it? I was not at peace because I didn't have peace...ha!)
But under the gaze of the image of Divine Mercy I learned that peace is fruit, peace is timony of Humility, Hope and Trust. First we come in Humility, broken, defeated, scared and disturbed. We acknowledge our sin, our failure, our brokennes. By His grace Faith is born in our hearts. In Faith we raise our eyes to Him and when we see him so beutiful, so loving, so full of tenderness towards our poor bruised heart we Hope.
So now, we know that He is good, that He cares about our life, that He is by our side. He know in Faith that He will guide us, that He is looking out for us, that He is our Shepherd.... and so we rest. And so we close our eyes as He gathers us in His arms and we lay our head on His chest....and we are, finally, gloriously, happily, at Peace.
