What does it mean to seek Peace? What did Jesus really mean when he said: "Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the children of God." (Matthew 5:9)
Over the next few posts, we will explore a little more around this topic, but perhaps the best place to start is to reflect on these familiar words first:
Lord, make me an instrument of
your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen. (Saint Francis of Assisi)
