Original Comment:Inner peace

In order to share our peace with others, we must be sure to be at peace within ourselves - fully reconciled with God and with all those who are near to us.

peace

i dont think it is realistic to suppose we can always be at peace with ourselves but that should not prevent us from giving the peace to others if this is sincerely given

our unique call as an expression of peace

I received this Henry Nouwen reflection and it added to what we have all contributed this morning.
“Here the word call becomes important. We are not called to save the world, solve all problems, and help all people. But we each have our own unique call, in our families, in our work, in our world. We have to keep asking God to help us see clearly what our call is and to give us the strength to live out that call with trust. Then we will discover that our faithfulness to a small task is the most healing response to the illnesses of our time.
Is this perhaps exchanging our peace in the everyday
