The Gift of Peace:

                 "My people will live in peaceful country, in secure dwellings and quiet resting places." (Isaiah 32.18)

                  May this promise of the Lord be experienced in our lives, our families, our surroundings. Keep far from us Lord, the violence and the hatred that divides. Let our homes experience that deep peace that allows us to rest secure in the Lord. Because you have the Lord for your refuge; you have made the Most high your stronghold. No evil shall befall you, nor shall affliction come near your tent. (Scriptures taken from the NAB - Catholic Publishers, Inc. 1971)
