Peace I leave you; My Peace I give to you. John 14:27
The gift of Peace was given to us by Jesus as He was preparing His followers to face life on earth without His physical body being present. It was a gift given to all of us who are His followers.

Peace in the scriptural sense is an English word translated from the Hebrew word Shalom. Shalom was a common greeting during Jesus’ time.
Christ entered the world as the Prince of Peace. During Advent, as I strive to become the person God intended me to be, Peace is one of the avenues I will follow. I will endeavor to share the gift of Peace with all whom I encounter. Shalom!
As I journey down this Advent road,
grant me the courage to make Peace.
Peace in my heart.
Peace in my home.
Peace in my community.
