As we are set apart as a community, we can bring peace or anxiety. Did you know that both of these are contagious? We are intended to be a community of peace, an oasis of calm in a wilderness of anger and division. Jesus showed us how the Holy Spirit can bring a peace that surpasses our understanding. We do not need to be afraid; we do not need to be troubled. And as we create space for our souls to connect with God, we will slowly infiltrate and inoculate the people in our orbit. We become a community that brings peace in a world that is desperate for it.
