Peace "in myName"

The place of being “in my Name” is presented as John relates some of Jesus final discourse with His disciples in the Gospel text from the Roman Catholic Lectionary of today. Jesus tells them that they have not yet experienced this relationship but it will be theirs and it will bring great peace. The action and reaction of our humanity with the Divine necessarily transforms our existence. The “peace” may be for minutes, hours or more. It is a resonance that draws on our whole being to relate. Our creativity, insight, art, music and heroism are rooted in this relationship. The praise of the psalmist for the dominion of God and the inspiration of Apollos, as told in the Acts of the Apostles, are actions arising out of being “in my Name”.
