✍🏾Peace Between the Soul and the Body
Active peacemakers establish peace between the soul and the body by listening to their conscience and refusing to let fleshly desires rule their spiritual life. When the desires of the body rise against the spirit, inner conflict appears. Peace is restored when the will of the flesh is subjected to the soul.
This spiritual discipline is strengthened through:
• Fasting
• Prayer
• Almsgiving
• Perseverance in prayer
These holy practices purify the heart and bring order between the spirit and the body.
Saint Yared (ቅዱስ ያሬድ) teaches about fasting:
“Fasting heals the wounds of the soul, destroys the desires of the flesh, and teaches humility to the young.”
Inner peace is established by trusting in God and casting all our worries upon Him (Psalm 4:8; 1 Peter 5:7). This is the foundation for becoming a true peacemaker and being called a child of God.
Through these practices, the believer lives in harmony, and the peace of God dwells within the heart.

May the name of the Holy God be praised forever and ever in every tongue that He has created, today and always.
May the blessings of God's mother, the virgin, and the cross be upon us.
Amen.
