Peace offers the human soul serenity. It gives it something that the outside world can never give. The world is so busy. We are tempted to spend all our time devoted to worldly experiences and things. But they never satisfy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignright is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mO5KuTzEHQ4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=es-MX&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-83f4b927193e61a9ac9f1615cae6b98d wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000\">I wonder if people in times past felt this same pull toward distractions. Perhaps they did. But somehow I feel that our lives are so full of distractions whether it is the tv, the radio, a sports game, or our phones.  We risk losing the precious gift of time and the quiet of the soul to things that clamor for our attention but leave our hearts empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4d3edc1f32e7fab6be0a876a12beb1e7 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000\">Peace is the serenity of the quiet of the heart &#8211; quiet of the day.  It\u2019s the stillness of the soul, the hush of the day, the sacred pause. Find a place, whether it\u2019s the corner of your room or the silence of a cave. Be still and listen to quiet speaking gently to you.  Spend time with yourself, and with the Blessed Family\u2014Our Heavenly Father, who waits not in the chaos, but in the calm.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-77e7a4db22ea357dba77c4b0e04b2af1 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000\"><em>May the peace of Our Heavenly Father bring you a calmness of soul.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kqKVFYD8Obc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=es-MX&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-blogging-prompt jetpack-blogging-prompt\"><div class=\"jetpack-blogging-prompt__label\">Daily writing prompt<\/div><div class=\"jetpack-blogging-prompt__text\">What brings you peace?<\/div><div class=\"jetpack-blogging-prompt__answers\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"jetpack-blogging-prompt__answers-gravatar\" aria-hidden=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/21397e3a21459c48576f70e702318b5318b44fca36d2768a190559985fb4f7bf?s=96&amp;d=identicon&amp;r=G\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"jetpack-blogging-prompt__answers-gravatar\" aria-hidden=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/0.gravatar.com\/avatar\/f78a04eb730059d6abc97427dd414810c08dab2a3274754950c23df90695e3e7?s=96&amp;d=identicon&amp;r=G\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"jetpack-blogging-prompt__answers-gravatar\" aria-hidden=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/0.gravatar.com\/avatar\/92a099e529657294d05f7289e0373e723a2bcfbb247d97a7f42a714b61a25322?s=96&amp;d=identicon&amp;r=G\" \/><a class=\"jetpack-blogging-prompt__answers-link\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/tag\/dailyprompt-2028?locale=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noreferrer noopener\">View all responses<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The content emphasizes that true peace can only be found through God, contrasting it with the unsatisfying distractions of the modern world.
