Peace

"When the Lord affirms that He gives us peace, that He gives us His peace, these words are divine words, words which have the same creative force as the words that brought the sky and the earth from the void, they carry the same weight as the words that quieted the storm, the words that healed sick and brought the dead back to life. Since Jesus tells us, even twice, that He gives us His peace, we believe that this peace is never taken away. God's gifts and His calling are irrevocable (Romans 11:29). It is we who do not always know how to acquire or preserve them. Because quite often we lack faith." -Jacques  Philippe
