My brothers and sisters, as we continue to journey, let us reflect on the importance of peace in our lives. In a world full of chaos and unrest, it can be easy to become consumed by fear and anger. But let us remember the words of the psalmist: “The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.” We are called to be instruments of peace in a world that so desperately needs it. Let us strive to be peacemakers in our homes, our communities, and our world. May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
