June 7, 1955


Dear Diary,

Today reminded us how vital God's peace is to our daily lives, not only for our spiritual health but also for our temporal well-being. Father LeRoy emphasized that even our everyday activities need the tempering touch of grace to reach their full potential. He encouraged us to act vigorously and with upright intentions but to entrust the outcomes to God, accepting them with contentment.

He also reminded us of the words of Our Lord: "My peace I give to you... Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid." It's a call to maintain our equanimity, undisturbed by wrongs endured or disappointments faced.

As I think about Father's words, Mini, ever so peaceful beside me, snores softly, a testament to the tranquility we're blessed to experience here. Tonight, as Sister and I said our prayers, we felt a deep sense of peace, trusting that all is as it should be under God's watchful eye.

"Lord, infuse our actions with Your grace and let Your peace reside in our hearts, guiding us to accept life's outcomes. Help us to embody the peace You bestowed upon us, untouched by the world's disturbances."

Another day closes, wrapped in the peace of God.

Goodnight, Diary. 
With a peaceful heart, Kathy
