‘PEACE BE WITH YOU'

In today's Gospel, Jesus declares:
‘Peace I bequeath to you,
my own peace I give you.
A peace the world cannot give,
this is my gift to you.'

Jesus also tells us that, ‘The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in
his name, will teach us all things and remind us of what Jesus has told us.'

 â€˜Come Holy Spirit'
