When we talk about peace in us, we take it with dimensional petals. Peace is the first thing to live. It is based on the fact that Jesus Christ is our bond of peace. And the second peace until we declare it to the world. We are witnessing God to the world. And the third is the peace that we build with Justice, dialogue, transparent politics and kindness. If we begin to focus on peace, how it is possible to live it in the gospel image, this experience is shown to us by the image of the disciples who were in the middle of the ship at the end of the night in the storm when Jesus was asleep. It is in this fear that we are drowning in the midst of all the war that we hear and live, especially in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, the holy lands in our east, able to tell about peace in the midst of the storm, because Jesus is with us and he sleeps in peace. This is something that comforted us that, despite all the storms, we will not sink into despair and will not give up on his project. And we will not doubt that we are able to live in peace even if we are at war in prison, because our peace is tied to nothing external, but to Christ present in our heart with our life. And if there are times when we feel Jesus is asleep, we have to wake him up so that there will be peace in the storm and in the water, there are times when we can, with our responsibility and our support, there are times when we let Jesus sleep and did not turn to him with faith and confidence, and did not pray to him urgently and earnestly enough. Perhaps this is an opportunity in the crisis and war that we are living, to awaken Jesus, who is present in US and in the conscience of the world, and ask him: say and let us hear your word amid the noise of war, missiles, cannons, military aviation, amid all the rhetoric of violence and hatred from brother to brother. What is your word, Jesus, that gives us peace
