00:00:00.962 --> 00:00:02.950
<v Speaker 1>Beloved welcome.

00:00:02.950 --> 00:00:15.743
<v Speaker 1>Take a slow breath in and let it go Again.

00:00:15.743 --> 00:00:27.478
<v Speaker 1>Gently inhale and release and release.

00:00:27.478 --> 00:00:36.018
<v Speaker 1>One more deep, steady breath and exhale.

00:00:39.860 --> 00:00:43.731
<v Speaker 1>Beloved you are held in the love of God.

00:00:43.731 --> 00:00:48.298
<v Speaker 1>Beloved you are held in the love of God.

00:00:48.298 --> 00:00:55.039
<v Speaker 1>Your peace is not fragile, nor is it fleeting.

00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:22.628
<v Speaker 1>Your peace is anchored in the eternal, in the one who still blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

00:01:22.628 --> 00:01:39.659
<v Speaker 1>And again, when the winds raged and the seas roared, jesus stood and said peace, be still.

00:01:39.659 --> 00:01:43.656
<v Speaker 1>And the storm grew quiet.

00:01:43.656 --> 00:01:53.546
<v Speaker 1>Let these words of comfort flow into your heart like living water.

00:01:53.546 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 1>Beloved, you are called into this same peace, not only to receive it but to become it.

00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 1>With your inhale, pray silently, peace of Christ fill me.

00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:36.818
<v Speaker 1>And with your exhale, pray, peace of Christ flow through me.

00:02:36.818 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Inhale Peace of Christ fill me.

00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:49.118
<v Speaker 1>Exhale Peace of Christ flow, fill me.

00:02:49.118 --> 00:02:49.259
<v Speaker 1>Exhale.

00:02:49.259 --> 00:02:55.099
<v Speaker 1>Peace of Christ flow through me.

00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Continue this rhythm, breath and prayer woven together.

00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:47.491
<v Speaker 1>Every breath becomes a prayer and every prayer becomes a seed of peace Beloved.

00:03:47.491 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 1>To live the way of Jesus is to walk in this world as a peacemaker.

00:03:49.599 --> 00:04:00.939
<v Speaker 1>The saints and mystics have taught us peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of God dwelling within us.

00:04:00.939 --> 00:04:12.329
<v Speaker 1>Now picture the peace of Christ as a gentle light within your chest, steady and unwavering.

00:04:12.329 --> 00:04:18.911
<v Speaker 1>The words of Jesus anchoring us in divine promise.

00:04:18.911 --> 00:04:39.714
<v Speaker 1>I leave the gift of peace with you, my peace, not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my own, perfect peace.

00:04:39.714 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Don't yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts.

00:04:46.540 --> 00:04:55.177
<v Speaker 1>Instead be courageous.

00:04:55.177 --> 00:04:57.550
<v Speaker 1>Peace that does not flicker with fear.

00:04:57.550 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 1>Peace that does not flicker with fear.

00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.168
<v Speaker 1>Peace that does not vanish with anger.

00:05:01.168 --> 00:05:06.149
<v Speaker 1>True peace, anchored deep in the love of God.

00:05:06.149 --> 00:05:13.091
<v Speaker 1>Peace beneath every storm, beneath every shadow.

00:05:13.091 --> 00:05:53.755
<v Speaker 1>Let this peace expand now, filling your whole being with calm, with stillness and with love.

00:05:55.156 --> 00:05:56.276
<v Speaker 1>And now beloved.

00:05:56.276 --> 00:06:28.500
<v Speaker 1>Imagine this peace moving outward, beyond yourself, beyond these walls, flowing from you into your family, into your neighbors and into the whole earth, and into the whole earth.

00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:38.999
<v Speaker 1>See this peace embrace the weary, the brokenhearted, the forgotten.

00:06:38.999 --> 00:06:47.939
<v Speaker 1>See this peace soften the places of conflict and division.

00:06:47.939 --> 00:07:01.110
<v Speaker 1>You are not separate from any person In Christ.

00:07:01.110 --> 00:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>We are one body, one spirit, one life in God.

00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:40.170
<v Speaker 1>Your peace is their peace.

00:07:40.170 --> 00:07:41.074
<v Speaker 1>Their peace is your peace.

00:07:41.074 --> 00:07:42.298
<v Speaker 1>Gently whisper with me.

00:07:42.298 --> 00:07:49.158
<v Speaker 1>Peace of Christ dwell in me.

00:07:49.158 --> 00:07:57.778
<v Speaker 1>Peace of Christ dwell in all.

00:07:57.778 --> 00:08:08.581
<v Speaker 1>Peace of Christ dwell in the world.

00:08:08.581 --> 00:08:17.060
<v Speaker 1>As the saints often prayed in silence, as the cloud of unknowing covered them in divine love.

00:08:17.060 --> 00:08:23.069
<v Speaker 1>Let this become a holy rhythm within your heart.

00:08:23.069 --> 00:08:37.719
<v Speaker 1>Peace of Christ dwell in me.

00:08:37.719 --> 00:08:44.820
<v Speaker 1>Peace of Christ dwell in all.

00:09:27.221 --> 00:09:28.044
<v Speaker 1>Peace of Christ dwell in the world.

00:09:28.044 --> 00:09:38.378
<v Speaker 1>Beloved, return now to your breath, slow, steady, calm.

00:09:38.378 --> 00:09:50.759
<v Speaker 1>Feel your body supported and your spirit at rest.

00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:55.860
<v Speaker 1>Hear again the blessing of our Jesus.

00:09:55.860 --> 00:10:04.576
<v Speaker 1>Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you.

00:10:04.576 --> 00:10:16.423
<v Speaker 1>Carry this peace with you today, anchored in God, witness to the Spirit, a blessing for the world.

00:10:16.423 --> 00:10:43.302
<v Speaker 1>Go now, beloved child of God, bearer of peace, go in stillness, go in love, go in God.
