Life is a blessing, and it is good and beautiful. But sometimes it doesn't feel that way. Responsibilities and expectations increase, stress abounds, and we feel every bit of our limitations and shortcomings.
But there is good news! The sufferings of this life will pass. They are incomparable to the majesty of God's glory and his grace, which he offers to each of us. In response to the assaults of daily life, the Lord Jesus comes and says to us, as he did to the apostles when they were confused and scared in the Upper Room, "Peace be with you!"
In Living in Peace, you will find reflections, prayers, and Scripture passages inviting you to find peace, no matter your circumstances. These reflections were first given to believers to inspire hope during the Easter season of 2020, when most in the United States could not attend Mass because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Born in the trenches and given in a time of great need, the reflections in this book are a timeless reminder that God is greater than anything we might face.
May you receive God's peace and become an instrument of his peace to others.
