Peace, where?

Byline: Westford

When we say at mass, "peace be with you", what do we mean?

Is there much true peace in our world today? Not really, even what is not violent is often loud and a source of distraction or turbulence.

So, are we wishing a changed world when we wish Peace to others? Well, maybe, but is there a more practical interpretation? Sure, if we wish peace in hearts, this is not only practical, but eminently possible.

Can we really gain peace in our hearts? Sure, it is in our control.

For me, prayer, especially adoration, is the best path to this peace of heart, peace in the Lord.
