Peace. It is something all of us search for throughout our lives and our hoped for end. However, the peace of living forever with our Lord and God does not come without a cost. We, like Simeon, must be righteous, devout, and patiently await our heavenly consolation. These three things are easier said than done as there are many things which will tempt us away from them. In the end, we will be judged by how we fulfill the Word of God. Let us hope we will so that we might find the peace of a good life and death.
What are the things we do that stand in the way of our peace? What keeps us from doing God’s Will? If we were to die today would we be at peace with our God and ourselves?
O Lord, grant us your peace and the willingness to accept it into our lives.
Amen.
