Every night I pray for peace. Every morning I listen to the news and realize how far we are from living in harmony. I often wonder why we find it so difficult to live in peace as a community, a nation, or a world. Sometimes I wonder if Jesus will ask this question of each of us after we pass from this world? Did our hearts, thoughts, or words seek His truth and love?
I know my own heart is flawed. Without the grace of God, I am motivated by self-love rather than the merciful heart of our Savior. So every night after I pray for peace, I also thank God for the gift of the Sacraments. I don't go to Mass because I have to. I go because I desperately need His graces, especially those I receive in the Eucharist. I am not the most intelligent person, but if the Lord desires to so generously share His love with me, I am smart enough to run to Him, open my heart, and beg to be filled.
God's graces are for everyone! His love has no limits! Even though my heart is flawed, I know He can heal me. I only need to immerse myself in His heart to discover the peace I desperately desire.
