"The peace of God which passeth all understanding (shall) keep your
hearts and minds in Christ JESUS." This will be the result, not of Our
Lord being nigh, but of our _realization_ of His nearness. A great peace
will _keep_, that is, take possession of, our hearts and minds.
Everything will be right because it comes straight from God's Hands.
"_My_ peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth do I give unto you"
(St. John XIV. 27). God's peace passes the understanding of the world,
it has nothing to compare with it. It passes the understanding of God's
children too. It is one of the mysteries with which He blesses His own
and makes life possible for them in a world of turmoil.
_Colloquy_ with Him Who is nigh.
_Resolution._ To remember that I am never alone.
