Jesus concludes the long sermon at the Last Supper, He is going to His arrest, trial, torture and execution. But the last words He shares with His disciples is “Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my gift…” (Jn 14:27).
Without peace we will not find joy in our journey of life. We need “Peace” in our neighbourhoods, work places, schools, governments, churches and most of all in our families.
We look at the world and there seems to be little peace everywhere and few people find peace in their lives. We may face moments of panic, anxiety or fear. Fear and peace are basic realities that we all live with.
God’s peace is offered to everyone who wants it. As Christians, we must make more efforts to bring peace rather than fear. May each of us have the willingness and courage to offer peace.
“O God, let all the nations praise You!” (Ps 67)
