Reflections from our Co-Pastors

July 14, 2020

"Take care you remain tranquil and do not fear." Isaiah 7:4

Years ago, I ordered a book through The mail titled How to Achieve Peace of Mind. Soon afterward, an invoice came, even though I had already paid for the book. Later, I got another notice stating that I had paid for one book but had ordered two. I had not. Then I replied that I had bought one book, paid for it and liked it, but these notices were causing me to lose the peace of mind that I had achieved!

This incident is minor, and we all face much more serious situations from which we seek to ultimately achieve peace of mind. The prophet Isaiah would encourage us to find tranquility by trying to lessen our fears.

Fears can make our problems seem bigger than they actually are. Our faith and prayer enable us to combat fear and help us find serenity.

Often, qualified counselors and advisors are also near at hand, as are supporting family and friends. At Mass, we offer the sign of peace to only a few people, but it is intended to be a prayerful hope for all our sisters and brothers.

It is a great blessing to live with peace of mind.
