Theme: Peace
“And the rest of his life was in joy, and with great increase of the fear of God he departed in peace.”
Reflection for Today
The Church sets before us Tobit 14:4: “And the rest of his life was in joy, and with great increase of the fear of God he departed in peace.”
Peace is one of the first things anxiety steals. Christ does not deny our storms; He offers a peace that can remain even while the waves are still high. Tobit, received in the Catholic canon, shows courage, fidelity, and providence when God's people are tested.
Today's invitation under the theme of Peace is simple and serious. If possible, bring this line to Mass or to a brief visit before the Blessed Sacrament. Let Christ finish in silence what the verse began in your thoughts.
Prayer
Lord God, thank You for speaking through Tobit 14:4. You said, “And the rest of his life was in joy, and with great increase of the fear of God he…” I do not want to rush past these words. Quiet my mind, warm my heart, and help me live what I have heard with faith, hope, and charity. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
