A little tidbit of history. I read on this date in 1931, Pope Pius XI broadcast for the first time from the Vatican. The Pope wrote the greeting himself. The message discussed peace. Peace within ourselves, peace in the world, peace with one another. Lent is or should be a time of peace. Letting oneself go to God. Let the daily hectic hassles go. Let peace resonate loudly and shine through.
Another lesson for today does not stray from the peace train theme. Be at peace with oneself and be ready for God. If we are prepared for God to visit us at anytime, we will be calm, at peace, and ready. That, too, is what the season of Lent is all about. Preparing for the Lord. Asking for forgiveness so we can be at peace with ourselves and with God.
If someone or some thing frazzling or rattling pops up today, close your eyes, take a deep breath, count to ten, and let peace surround you.
