This past weekend I spoke on the topic of attaining the Lord’s Peace at the Catholic Women’s Conference organized by the Pilgrim Center of Hope in San Antonio. It was such a beautiful experience and I met many women who shared their struggles with interior peace due to many difficult personal and family circumstances. They were very loving and faithful women who needed a little reminder that their suffering is not in vain. Suffering can bear much fruit with our every effort to look beyond our circumstances and gaze into the eyes of Jesus on the Cross.
At the conference, I also shared a number of resources that anyone can use to help them learn more about what it takes to receive the gift of the Lord’s Peace. Like I mentioned in episode 39, we can’t make Peace happen. God has to bestow it upon us if we prepare our souls with genuine love for the Lord.
There are so many resources to learn more about acquiring Peace, but after doing extensive research on the topic, here are my top 5, but keep in mind our Holy Bible is above everything so I’m not adding it to the list and chances are, you already have one:
