Smith, who won the British Open last year and emerged as one of LIV's poster boys, said he believed he made the correct choice to join the rival tour, merger or not. The tournament at the Los Angeles Country Club is the first major since the news, which prompted frustration among PGA Tour members, many of whom resisted the promise of super-sized paydays from LIV Golf and said they felt blindsided. Open, days after the Saudi-backed tour and the PGA Tour announced their surprise merger. May we find peace in our daily lives, peace through the hard times and peace in the way we relate to one another.LOS ANGELES, June 12 (Reuters) - Cameron Smith is at peace with his decision to join LIV Golf, the Australian said on Monday ahead of the U.S. Let us rely on Jesus to receive His Peace and to share it with others. When half of our faces are covered with masks and we are physically further apart, we need to remember that our hearts must remain close and united with Christ together as a community of faithful. Though the Sign of Peace has changed in its physical nature due to our need for social distancing, the purpose and reminder that it serves is even more necessary now. The exchange of peace comes after the consecration because it refers to "the 'paschal kiss' of the risen Christ present on the altar." It comes just before the breaking of the bread during which "the Lamb of God is implored to gives us his peace. We encounter this integral expression of the Risen Lord at each Mass. ![]() Our Catholic liturgy reminds us of this with the ritual Sign of Peace. "This peace of the risen Lord is invoked, preached and spread in the celebration, even by means of a human gesture lifted up to the realm of the sacred. It is a peace that brings others into a new place of awareness of the truths Jesus reveals to us.Ĭhrist is our peace, the divine peace, announced by the prophets and by the angels, and which he brought to the world by means of his paschal mystery," the letter said. It is the peace of His love to live out and speak truth to a world lost and fearful. ![]() Jesus’ offering of peace is not for a simple, easy life of peaceful pleasure. Nor should the desire for peace allow evils in the world to continue because we don’t want to rock the “perceived peace” of the status quo or culturally acceptable. It is not the kind of peace that allows others to take advantage of the humble or meek. The world needs more peace - t he kind that changes hearts, awakens love and restores our communion as a human family. Without being at peace, the community and its members could not fully reflect or live the peace and love of Christ in Eucharist. We extend to one another what Christ has given to us and therefore unite ourselves intimately with Him. When we offer His love, forgiveness and peace, we truly become the Body of Christ and share in His Resurrection. Rather than just our own little individual world, we are a part of something bigger - the Body of Christ! We realize that we are stronger because we are not alone. It gives us a sense that we will be okay no matter what hurdles and confusions are sent our way. We can feel love and contentment, but there is something special about being at peace. He invited them to both receive His peace and to share it with one another. They did not understand the sacrifice He just offered, nor did they know what next to do without Jesus to show them the way. ![]() Jesus Himself, when He appeared to the disciples gathered after His Passion and Death, spoke these meaningful words - Peace Be With You! Jesus was the first to offer peace at a time when His disciples could not yet make sense of His death at Calvary. On this Divine Mercy Sunday, let us spread the mission of Jesus further into the world through peace. Jesus is Risen! Alleluia! His blood washes away our sin and His Mercy provides us with an opportunity for eternal life. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” John 20:19-21 Jesus said to them again, “ Peace be with you. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. ” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “ Peace be with you.
