It is the Holy Spirit Who pours peace within the souls of Christ's friends, and even allows such souls to share that peace, even at a distance, through their communion with one another 'in Christ'. They can encourage one another to more fervent prayer - as when happy dolphins nudge one another, to encourage joyful leaps into the sunlight above the surface of the water.

In His grace and beauty, God is like a leaping creature of the plains, like a gazelle: exquisite to look upon, graceful in every act and movement, swift to respond to the least cry or disturbance, yet often seeming motionless and at peace.

Prayer can be like a meeting of members of a happy, united family who sit together, after a busy day, in companionable silence.

At the Easter Vigil, Christ leaned over my chair, showing how delighted He was to be with me, and at my desire to please Him, to live at peace with everyone, and to make Him widely known and loved.

If we surrender to him, the Holy Spirit will fill our souls with light, love, purity, peace, and power

Just as the 'climate' within a well-made cable car remains the same, whatever the weather outside, so a mature soul is always calm and at peace within, whatever storms may rage exteriorly around him.

The 'flight' of a soul in prayer, in Divine grace and sweetness, is like the soaring of a swallow, or the swift movement of a dolphin, or a shark gracefully circling, or a Dove descending in simplicity and peace.

A surgeon who gives a serious diagnosis sometimes has little hope of a cure. A priest who has to 'diagnose' serious sin can offer, as a cure, complete forgiveness and peace to those who sincerely repent!

Heaven is like a bright Home far above earth's darkness; an exalted state; a free gift of which we are not worthy. Preparation is necessary for those who want to live with the saints in perfect love and unity, in the embrace of the Three Divine Persons, in Their perfect bliss and peace.

When someone dies in the love of Christ, having served Christ to the end with selfless love, he rises up to Heaven in utter peace and gladness, reaching out his arms to Heaven, longing to see His Saviour at last.

With a peaceful heart, and a peaceful conscience, a happy friend of Christ can 'lean' on Him, in Holy Communion.

In a seaside town, we can gaze at the busy streets and harbour, or turn to admire the sky and the calm sea. So, in our souls, we can gaze at our problems, in gloom and confusion, or we can choose to 'turn' to look towards God, to rest in Him, and to gain wisdom and peace.

Illness gives us an opportunity to ask ourselves, as we think about the end of life: "Shall I meet God with a peaceful or a guilty heart?"

When we sincerely repent of our sins and weaknesses it is as if a trapdoor opens above our head, as Heaven's light shines in, to bring us peace, light and closer union with God.
