Peace of Heart

 "If peace is really what you want, then you will choose peace." Meister Eckhart

We pray for world peace but are choosing to make peace happen?

Peace is a choice.

How can we expect peace when we do not make peace in our own hearts? 

"Peace lies not in the external world. It lies within one's own soul." Ralph W. Trine 

We want to make peace happen, but how? 

"Peace begins with a smile. Smile five times a day at someone you don't really want to smile at." St. Mother Teresa 

Peace is swallowing our pride and opening our hearts to doing the things we don't always want to do. 

Sometimes it's forgiving and other times it is being forgiven. 

Peace of Heart. 

"While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart." St. Francis of Assisi
