Think back to a time during the previous week when you had an opportunity to share God’s peace with someone (this could be a co-worker, stranger, neighbor, family member, etc.).* Go back imaginatively into that encounter. What might God have been up to there? If you were to return to that relationship, what might God want to do?
*Sharing the peace means participating in God’s life and work to bring healing and wholeness. It might involve a word or act that leads someone toward reconciliation with God, others, or the earth. Sharing the peace can come in many forms: acknowledging the presence and humanity of the person ringing up your groceries or delivering your mail, making time to listen to a neighbor (from six feet!), delivering a meal or plant, or supporting someone who is stressed out, whether that be a family member, co-worker, or someone you’ve just met.
