Find A Way To Calm Your Heart and Discover Peace Of Mind

How To Find A Calm Heart And Peace Of Mind

Whenever Jesus wanted to recenter and reconnect with God, he went to the wilderness - to the mountains, to the desert, to the sea, to the garden.  What did he find there? …  God’s creation has a patient way of silently receiving our thoughts, ponderings, complaints, objections, hopes, dreams, all of everything stirring around our heads … Bringing calm to our hearts and peace to our minds … find your wilderness, mountains, desert, sea or garden in our Adoration Chapel, simply by sitting silently in his presence and learning.

Once we open ourselves to the deeper mystery of real presence, we are able to glimpse the magnificence of the gift.  The Body and Blood of Christ is so much more than a physical specimen.  It is the soothing balm, a healing salve.  It is hope, compassion, and mercy.  It is the promise delivered and the potential realized of unity between Creator, creating, and creation.  It is love.  And it is given to us freely, asking only that we open ourselves to it.  So don’t remain ‘closed’ but ‘open’ yourself to finding a calm heart and peace of mind.  Start by spending time in the Adoration Chapel on a regular basis.

Eucharistic Peace of Heart

“The most powerful means of obtaining peace of heart is from Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.  What are we saying?  We are saying that in order to obtain that self-mastery which is the precondition of internal peace, we need nothing less than God’s miraculous grace.

Today’s world is so filled with confusion that nothing less than supernatural grace can provide us with the peace of mind without there can be no peace of heart.  Where do we go; to whom do we turn; whom do we ask to give us that peace of mind which is so tragically wanting in the modern world?  Who alone can give us the serenity of spirit which is another name for peace of soul?  Who, but Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace.

We do not normally think of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament as food for the mind and the will but we should.  To be at peace, what we first need is to know the truth; what we next need is to do the will of God.  On both counts, Jesus in the Holy Eucharist is our principal source.”

    (Fr John A. Hardon, SJ - Perpetual Adoration, True Peace in the World)

Lent is that time of the Church year when we are encouraged to work for supernatural grace that will give us peace of mind, leading to peace of heart.
