Yesterday I went with my family to London for the day. I was able to see what was going on there on the fourth plinth! It was interesting to observe how the whole project works. I saw a young woman sitting on a rocking horse moving slowly up and then slowly down. It was peaceful to watch considering I stood in the middle of a busy Trafalgar Square!
The woman had white material attached to her waist which then draped down to the ground and this pointed to a poster on which passers by could write their messages and best wishes. I wrote ‘Hour well spent-Peace!’
Jesus was heard to say that through him you could get peace, not peace as the world knows, but the peace he gives which he says has depth, is everlasting and not dependant on current circumstances…maybe he had a point?
His words are found in the New Testament in John 14: 27. Words often associated with St. Francis of Assisi pray…’Lord, make me an instrument of your peace’
