May the 9th.

The gospel reading today continues not only a promise, but even more a very special gift: Jesus gave his apostles and disciples, and you and I, his peace.

As we hear this, I am sure that it gives us a very special feeling. Yet we have to remember that the peace that Christ gives is something very special and very different from what the world around us gives and understands.

It is a sense of fulfillment and wholeness. It is not freedom from conflict. It is fulfillment that enables us to deal with and overcome the conflicts that we encounter in our life.

This gives us reason to hope. This offers us a focal point around which to center our lives.
