If we would find and have and keep such peace
then we need to keep the word of Jesus
and he will make his home in our hearts
to be our peace when our hearts are troubled or afraid.
If we keep the Lord’s word,
the Lord’s word will keep us…
In our prayer today
he has spoken and invited us to keep his word.
In the sacrament of this table he will come to dwell in us
when we receive his presence and peace
in his body and blood in the Eucharist.
May we keep the word we hear.
may that word find a dwelling place in our hearts.
and may that same word bring us his peace…
