I went to Mass this morning at 9 am. The children's choir animated the Mass songs. I was happy and touched to hear the children's voices. It has been quite a while since I've heard a children's choir singing - such innocence and spontaneity, such fervour. Then they started to sing in Croatian the song "My peace I give unto you". I almost started crying. I felt that it was God's personal response to a request I made while I was praying my Lauds.
"My peace I give unto you. Bing, it is the peace that the world cannot give. It's the peace that the world cannot understand."
How good God is in wanting to reassure me. Bing, look nowhere else. It is I who give you the peace that your heart craves for. He is inviting me to believe, to trust that only He can give me peace.
The problem is, maybe I have another idea of peace. I just want that the ache in my heart, that the restlessness may disappear. I feel like my heart is an open wound that continues to ache. Hence, its healing is the peace that I want.
But maybe God has another peace in store for me. So I wait. I trust in His promise.
