“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; I do not give to you as  the world gives. Do no let not your heart be troubled, and do not  be afraid.” John 14:27.

Quote of Jesus

Peace and serenity of heart are difficult to acquire.  The world is a chaotic place to live. Our emotions can make us feel quite helpless.  How do we find peace?  How do we live in peace?  Faith is a gift.  With faith, we can pray for peace.   The following quotes of the saints are ‘pearls of wisdom’ to help us in our journey.
