Pope: The more agitated we are, the more we need this prayer

The Pope said this on May 22, before leading the midday Regina Caeli, as he reflected on the Lord's words: "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you."

"Let us learn to say every day: 'Lord, give me your peace, give me your Holy Spirit.' This is a beautiful prayer. Shall we say it together?," the Pope invited.

The Pope said we are called to give peace, as Jesus does.

But, he added, "Jesus knows that on our own we are not able to cultivate peace, that we need help, that we need a gift."

The Holy Father reflected how Jesus gives peace because he himself is full of peace. "No one can give peace unless that person is at peace," he said.
