God is a God of Peace

Catholic Mom Daily

For May, we're diving into Searching for and Maintaining Peace by Fr. Jacques Phillipe. God is a God of peace. He does not speak and does not operate except in peace, not in trouble and agitation. Let us remember the experience fo the prophet Elijah of Horeb: God was not in the hurricane, nore the earthquake, nor in the fire, but in the whsiper of a gentle breeze. It is an invitation to act, even to act considerably sometimes, but under the impulse of the Holy Spirit, which is a gentle and peaceful spirit. Only one who possesses this interior peace can efficaciously help his neighbor. "Acquire interior peace and a multitude will find its salvation through you," said Saint Seraphim of Sarov.
