Peace is the simplicity of the spirit,
the serenity of conscience, the tranquility of the soul
and the bond of love.

in which all warfare between heaven and earth

beginning in this life,
we must become used to a familiar, humble,

in the boat of your interior peacefulness,
without losing sight of the harbor.

The peace we were made to enjoy
is found only by faith in Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the only one
who can lead us into the bosom of the Trinity,
into the heart of the Father,
and there, our hearts find rest.

 
cf. Bl. Elizabeth of the Trinity, 20th century

The entire work of Christ’s coming consists of peace,
and for this he bowed the heavens
and came down to earth.
