In this Sunday's Gospel, we hear Jesus greet his disciples by saying, "Peace be with you!"  How easy it is to look around the world and see a great lack of peace.  We see conflicts between people and nations every time we watch the news.  However, there is also turmoil within many of our own hearts.  This is where the peace that Christ offers begins.  He offers us a deep sense of peace and joy that we simply cannot get anywhere else, yet often we look everywhere else for this peace.  Fr. Michael offers some brief thoughts about this peace that Jesus offers us.
