March 3, 2023 Reflection – And in humility, seek peace from the Most High!
And in humility, seek peace from the Most High! March 3, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! February 25, 2023 “Dear children! Keep converting and clothe yourselves in penitential garments and in personal, deep prayer; and in humility, seek peace from the Most High!… Truly, only the humble will seek peace, because they know that their lives come from God, and they live in trust that God will provide for them. The humble do not contend with others but seek to live with all in peace. The humble keep their eyes fixed on the Lord, for He is their refuge and their hope. Those who convert constantly and live in personal, deep prayer, will be given humility and peace. Let’s pray this scriptural Litany for Peace together: Litany of Peace Lord, have mercy. R.
