For 21 May 2019, Tuesday of the fifth week of Easter, based on John 14:27-31
Jesus said to his disciples: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you this before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me; but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father.”

Thank you, Sr. Judith for your profound and well articulated reflection. I found myself relating
to much of what you shared and found it so helpful especially when I listen or read the news of the
day or listen to others including my sisters who deeply desire the peace of Jesus. You exude that
Peace yourself as I listened to you.
Blessings and gratitude,

Dear Judith,
Thank you for sharing your calm reflection on the Peace God gives
to each one of us regardless of our status in life.
I appreciate your words to ponder as you shared them with us.
May that peace always be in your heart and mind for we cannot live
without it.
Thank you and blessings be with you.
