Peace is the first thing the angels sang. Peace is the mark of the sons of God. Peace is the nurse of love. Peace is the mother of unity. Peace is the rest of blessed souls. Peace is the dwelling place of eternity.
--Pope Saint Leo the Great
True peace reflects a conscience that is in union with God's will, that does not envy one's neighbor, and in fact desires good for the neighbor at least as much as for self.
Your words are true, Robert. Perhaps we do not appreciate this gift of peace as we should. Only when we have lost it do we realize its value. Thank you for writing, and may Almighty God grant you peace.
