Searching for and Maintaining Peace:

A Small Treatise on Peace of Heart

In our current times of uncertainty and stress, this small book offers insight into how to seek out and maintain our inner peace.  Rooted in our Catholic tradition, Fr. Philippe gently but clearly encourages the reader to place ‘all our confidence in God and abandon ourselves to his loving care.’  He explores topics such as: the importance of having goodwill, our worry of going without, the difficulty in believing in providence, and our fear of suffering.  “Since peace of heart is a pure gift of God, it is something we should seek, pursue and ask him for without cease. This book is here to help us in that pursuit. Taking concrete examples from our everyday life, the author invites us to respond in a Gospel fashion to the upsetting situations we must all confront.”

St. Luke’s Parish Family
     presents...   A GRIEF SERIES:

Every human being has a great, yet often unknown, gift to care, to be compassionate, to become present to the other, to listen, to hear and to receive... Those who are not afraid to hold a hand in gratitude, to shed tears in grief, and to let a sigh of distress arise straight from the heart, can breakthrough paralyzing boundaries and witness the birth of a new fellowship , the fellowship of the broken.

-Henri J.M. Nouwen
