SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
‘Peace I bequeath to you,
my own peace I give you’
‘When the power of love overcomes the love
of power the world will know peace’. These
eloquent sentiments expressed by legendary
American rock guitarist, Jimmi Hendrix
make the important connection between
love and peace, and mirror precisely the
words of Jesus in the Upper Room as He bids
farewell to His disciples. Having appealed
to His friends to love one another Jesus now
bequeaths to them the gift of peace. Peace
actually begins with love, and we find peace
when we live our lives through the lens of
love. It’s not something that can be achieved,
but something one must become. The peace
which Jesus offers is an inner peace, knowing
as He does that it is ‘peace within that makes
beauty without’. It is His gift, then, and it is
only by opening our hearts to Him that we
can receive and foster that precious gift. A
world without God can never know peace.
No God, no peace; know God, know peace!

Our Lady of Clonfert
PRAYER FOR UKRAINE
Loving God we pray for the people of Ukraine, for
all those suffering or afraid, that you will be close to
them and protect them. We pray for world leaders, for
compassion, strength and wisdom to guide their choices.
We pray for the world, that in this moment of crisis we
may reach out in solidarity to our brothers and sisters
in need. May we walk in your ways so that peace and
justice become a reality for the people of Ukraine and
for all the world. Amen.
“May the Queen of Peace preserve the world from the
madness of war.” (Pope Francis
