"The peace which Christ brings is not a formula for individual escape, nor for egotistical self-fulfilment.There can be no peace in the heart of the man who seeks peace for himself alone.To find true peace,peace in Christ,we must desire others to have peace as well as ourselves, and we must be willing to sacrifice something of our own peace and happiness in order that others may have peace,and that others may be happy."(from The Monastic Journey by Thomas Merton).
It is in giving that we receive.
