“Peace
I Leave With You; My Peace I Give To You”
How
many of us are constantly stressed? How many of us are carrying
unseen burdens, anxiety or depression, trauma or addictions? How many
of us are longing for peace?
Jesus'
peace consists of unifying ourselves with God, our neighbors, and our
very bodies. Jesus' peace does not mean a bland tolerance of
"anything goes;" the peace of Jesus is one that fights for
our souls, our freedom, and our redemption. He went to the Cross for
us so that we might follow him on that path of dying and rising, to
be born anew.
The
"City of God," that St. John is describing in our passage
from Revelation this week is this heavenly destination where no sun
or moon is needed because "the glory of God gave it light, and
its lamp was the Lamb" (Rev. 21:23). We will never have full and
abiding peace on this side of heaven. But it is in the Church that
God has established here on earth where we can receive forgiveness of
our sins, community and fellowship, and the Bread of Life for the journey.
Consider watching the above clip of
Bishop Barron on how the Church, though full of sinners, is still the
Body of Christ in the world today.

“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; and where there is sadness, joy.”
St. Francis
of Assisi
