Peace, ANZAC day ... and a bit of Thomas

Peace be with you.

Jesus stood among them –

Doubters,

Deny-ers,

Run-away-ers,

Watchers.

Those with

Grief,

Fear,

Loss,

Pain.

Peace be with you.

Then again

Peace be with you

And

I am sending you

To…

Forgive

To be peace-givers

Peace-keepers

Peace-makers

To…

Seek peace,

Find it.

Give peace,

Receive it.

Jesus stands among us

Doubters,

Deniers

Run-away-ers

Watchers.

Those who live Anzac day,

(“Lest we forget”)

And those who do not want to remember.

Those with

Grief

Fear

Pain

Loss.

Peace be with you.

And we are sent.

Look others in the eye.

“Peace be with you.”

To …

Forgive

And forgive

And forgive

And

see the scars … of the world

Touch them with love

Find faith

And speak faith

And peace

In God’s breathing,

In The Spirit

Peace be with you.
