Peace



"There is nothing better than peace in Christ, for it brings victory over evil spirits... When this peace dwells in a man's heart, it enables him to contemplate the grace of the Holy Spirit from within. He who dwells in peace collects spiritual gifts as it were with a scoop, and he sheds the light of knowledge on others. All our thoughts, all our desires, all our efforts, and all our actions should make us say constantly with the Church: "O Lord, give us peace!" When a man lives in peace, God reveals mysteries to him."

-      St. Seraphim of Sarov (1754-1833)
