A few years ago during a visit to the Peace Pilgrim Center we would gather together each day with joy to share delicious vegetarian meals and started by lighting a candle in the center of the table and taking some moments of silence in meditation.

While the candle was being lit our host usually recited in a solemn manner these words of Peace Pilgrim…

“Within you is the light of the world
to be shared with the world.”

In a spirit of renewal, through our appreciation of the Way of Peace and Love we contribute to the total scheme of harmony by directing our daily thoughts to the highest of our understanding.

In September 2001 I wrote:

The Path of Peace

Our daily thoughts, feelings and acts
Contribute to the total scheme of Peace.
By living to give and serving others
We become a source of inspiration.
By making peace with others we bring peace to ourselves…
Because we are all ONE, we are interconnected.

I invite you reflect on the following affirmations of peace.

• My being is the shrine of indwelling light and love.
• I give the world a fellowship of faith.
• I now have found the sunshine of divine compassion.
