PEACE










Embrace in thought, and express in word and deed, the fullness of peace and -- you'll feel …

 "Lo, I am with you always," -- that is, not only in all time, but in all ways and conditions.

Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 317 
-- by Mary Baker Eddy--




The Dove of Peace

With every gesture of love
we make,
with every word of love
we speak,
a dove of peace is born--
engulfed in light,
it’s lifting high
above hate and discord
into space.
--Eva-Maria--






















Deity … confers upon man 
enlarged individuality,
a wider sphere of 
thought and action,
a more expansive love,
a higher and more permanent peace.

--Science and Health, p. 265—


I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely …
--The Bible, Jeremiah 32:37--














–John 15:9—11-- 










You whose labors are doing so much to benefit mankind will not be impatient if you have not accomplished all you desire, nor will you be long in doing more. 
My faith in God and in His followers rests in the fact that He is infinite good, and that He gives His followers opportunity to use their hidden virtues, to put into practice the power which lies concealed in the calm and which storms awaken to vigor and to victory. 
--Mary Baker Eddy, Miscellany, p. 204--

The mandate for you and I, to love our enemies, stretches human capacity to its limits, but it is based on God’s love for each of us.
–Eva-Maria--





The way of peace is the way of truth.  
Indeed, lying is the mother of violence.
A truthful man cannot long remain violent.
He will perceive in the course of his search 
that he has no need to be violent 
and he will further discover 
that so long as there is 
the slightest trace of 
violence in him, 
he will fail to find 
the truth he is seeking.

--Mahatma Gandhi, from The Book of Gandhi Wisdom, 
compiled by Trudy S. Settlel, p. 97--
