Peace

The readings today http://usccb.org/bible/readings/112911.cfm gives us a glimpse of how it will be in God's time...

Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb,

and the leopard shall lie down with the kid;

The calf and the young lion shall browse together,

with a little child to guide them.

The cow and the bear shall be neighbors,

together their young shall rest;

the lion shall eat hay like the ox.

The baby shall play by the cobra's den,

and the child lay his hand on the adder's lair.

There shall be no harm or ruin on all my holy mountain;

for the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the LORD,

as water covers the sea.

What a peaceful world it will be.  All will live in harmony despite the differences. But we will not look forward to this, we will not believe it, if we are full of ourselves. If we are focused and too much engrossed on today, on the here and now. In the gospel, Jesus says the childlike will benefit from God. The childlike, which puts all his faith in God the father, fully relying on Him, will attain the fullness of life.

When things are gloomy, when life gets so stressful, let us take comfort in God’s word. His time will come. Peace will  come. Let’s have a childlike attitude and depend on Him fully.

God bless!
