lesson 305
“There is a peace that Christ bestows on us.”Who uses but Christ’s vision finds a peace so deep and quiet,
undisturbable and wholly changeless, that the world contains no
counterpart. Comparisons are still before this peace. And all the
world departs in silence, as this peace envelops it, and gently carries it
to truth, no more to be the home of fear. For Love has come, and
healed the world by giving it Christ’s peace.
“Father, the peace of Christ is given us, because it is Your Will that we
be saved. Help us today but to accept Your gift, and judge it not. For it has
come to us to save us from our judgement on ourselves.”
lesson 306
“The gift of Christ is all I seek today.”What but Christ’s vision would I use today, when it can offer me a
day in which I see a world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory
returns to me? Today I can forget the world I made. Today I can go
past all fear, and be restored to love and holiness and peace. Today I
am redeemed, and born anew into a world of mercy and of care; of
loving kindness and the peace of God.
“And so, our Father, we return to You, remembering we never went
away; remembering Your holy gifts to us. In gratitude and thankfulness we
come, with empty hands and open hearts and minds, asking but what You
give.We cannot make an offering sufficient for Your Son. But in Your Love the
gift of Christ is his.”
