What is peace? Is it the absence of noise or of violence? Is it having enough money in the bank or a good job? I would say to you on this Christmas Eve that peace is more than that. We can have peace regardless of what is going on in our lives and in the world. Peace is a state of mind, it is an interior practice. The practice of peace is not a feeling but a sense of knowing that Jesus the Christ is at work in our lives and in the world. It is the practice of giving our worries over to God and letting go of our circumstances. Peace is allowing things to just be knowing that over time all is well and all will be well because someone greater than us is doing more in our lives than we could ask for or imagine. This Christmas let us allow the Incarnation of the Divine infiltrate our hearts, minds and souls with the Divine Love knowing that the Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer understands our circumstances and we can rest in peace.
