It is no easy task to walk this earth and find peace. Inside of us, it would seem, something is at odds with the very rhythm of things and we are forever restless, dissatisfied, frustrated, and aching. ~ Ronald Rohlheiser, The Holy Longing

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. ~ Henry David Theroeu

– People of God’s peace know a purpose bigger than themselves.

– People of God’s peace live with open hands.

– People of God’s peace expect the presence of God in their daily lives.

Paperwork, cleaning the house, dealing with the innumerable visitors who come all through the day, answering the phone, keeping patience and acting intelligently, which is to find some meaning in all that happens—these things, too, are the works of peace, and often seem like a very little way. ~ Dorothy Day
