Jesus is the essence of peace. He always kept his composure no matter the circumstance. Despite personal loss, deep spiritual suffering and severe torture, Christ always maintained a peace about him.
We are called to this peace as the scriptures indicate today. Even in the face of our own personal suffering, peace is possible. The more we become like Christ the better we can bear our cross.
To become like Him we must always pray. Through prayer, God will give us the grace to forgive, that is to drop our resentments toward others. When we do this God will freely give us the grace to endure and persevere through anything.
The most effective prayer is the one Christ taught us, because it commands us to forgive. A Christian should spend at least 15 to 20 minutes each day alone silently meditating on the Lord's Prayer for strength.
