Becoming instruments of Peace

We are each called...

Our families, friends, people at work and in our community need us as instruments of peace and joy. Equally important we need this peace and joy for ourselves, our own well being.

To be genuine instruments of peace we begin by taking time for ourselves, time away from the busy energy of daily life including the fearful news that surrounds us. Step by step we feel ourselves again, our hearts, our own inner peace. Slowly our peace and joy are present. We are taking the time to know and feel our instrument. Each of us are unique. We experience our own special peace and inner joy uniquely. This is our individual beauty. Life’s beauty grows as we learn to honor and care for our instrument, our hearts. As the noise of the world leaves us, we find within our hearts, the pure space of God.

The secret to a successful path is to learn to appreciate, to honor, to listen deeply, to be true to our instrument. The sounds of peace and joy are the natural result. Our spiritual practice and service to others continue the peace and joy.Now our prayer is full of meaning and practical value. Lord make me an instrument…Lord make me an instrument…

We invite you to Assisi, a world center of peace, to join a meditation retreat. Together we are rediscovering life’s peace and joy.
