Peace in me

“I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.” (JN 16: 33)

Trouble and the world go together. The world, which was created by God, now is dominated by governments,which at the very least ignore their Creator. But the last word belongs to God, Who not only created but also conquered the world, and we know that in the end there will be a new world and a new heaven. This is the reason we should always be focused on Our Lord and “might have peace in Him.” The world never gives peace—only sometimes pleasure.

“If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of the God.” (Gospel Acclamation)
