Dona Nobis Pacem

Gun’s Quote-of-the-Week:

“Dona nobis pacem.”
-From “Agnus Dei”

It is a simple phrase with a simple message, yet its appropriateness for this week is clear.

Translated from Latin, the phrase means, "Grant us peace."

This week, Christmas week, I hope that everyone who reads this, and all of your friends, family, and loved ones, can experience true peace.

Regardless of your race, your religion, your socio-economic status, any other demographic, your travel plans, or your chaos that you are dealing with in your life, I pray that God may grant you the Peace that only He can give.

For the non-Christians in the group, may peace grant you the much-needed rest you need to carry on. May you also never forget how much simply being alone and being in a quiet place can help you gain perspective and refresh your soul. Don't let the hustle and bustle of life wear you down, especially this week. Give yourself some peace this week. Recharge your batteries.

For the Christians in the group, our big day is this week, isn't it? However, don't let the shopping, the meal-preparation, and your cross-country travel plans screen out the fact that when Jesus came into the world, all was calm. All was quiet. God intended it that way. Know that Jesus is coming to save you, and may your heart be at peace with that knowledge.

Have a very Merry Christmas.
