Today we light the Peace candle. The Prince of Peace invites us to enjoy stillness. “Jesus rebuked the wind and said to the waves: “Peace! Be still.” The wind died down and was completely calm.” Thank you, Jesus, for entering the storms of life with us and bringing peace there.
Peace Poem:
In a world full of noise and conflict and sorrow.
Life vibrates with sound and motion
Thoughts fly in chasing others out
Multi-tasking, managing schedules, juggling responsibilities
Needs cry out to be met
Storms blow in knocking us flat -
Jesus beckons
“Peace
Be still
Peace I give to you
A gift to nurture a transformation
Rooting you in restoration
Jesus invites
Let peace grow within you
and then let it out to the world so in need of reconciliation.
Let me create peace in you beyond your understanding
that you can hold the light of the Prince of Peace
to shelter your heart and shine on the path of all those around you.
