AI OVERVIEW: Peace is the rest of the will that comes from assurance about how things will turn out and is lived as active engagement with the good, a form of trust that outcomes will unfold well. It includes peace with God, with others, and with oneself, and depends on grace far beyond ourselves as well as on our own efforts. Acceptance of reality and of difficult emotions opens space for peace, whether in the face of loss or in daily fears, and the idea that we cannot control everything helps it take root; a friend who recently lost someone illustrates how letting things be can coexist with feeling sorrow. Welcoming anxiety rather than denying it invites peace into life.
