How do we find “child of God energy” in our daily life? One answer, suggested Mother Kristin in her sermon, lies in the phrase “Peace be with you.”

These words are Jesus’s response to the anxious energy that plagues us, offering breathing room when we are in distress, and encouraging compassion for all children of God. “The peace of Jesus is yours; it goes out to all of us,” she said. “May we breathe it in and pass it along.”
