In two sentences, St. James lays out a blueprint for thought and action to help us live out the oft-quoted beatitude, "Blessed are the peacemakers". "But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of paritality of bypocrisy. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace" (Jas 3:17-18). It is the Holy Spirit who gives us the wisdom from above. Let us take a few moments to pray to the Spirit to fill us with the wisdom from which so many other gifts flow. The cacophany of our daily lives can easily drown out the peace, gentleness, mercy, genuineness and openess to all, which is part of our mission as followers of Christ. Allow The Holy Spirit to mute the noise, the worry and anxiety in our own hearts, and thus we'll be able to experience peace and help others find it as well.
I wish you wisdom and peace in the Holy Spirit.
