“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you” (Jn 14: 27).
His is a peace that is based on good relations with God, on the observance of his word and on intimate communion with him; it is the peace of those who allow themselves to be guided by the Holy Spirit and who act according to his light.
It is a peace which does not dispense us from suffering in this life, but which infuses courage also to face strife fearlessly when this is necessary for being faithful to God.
