“‘The peace from above’ comes down from God the Father Himself and isn’t dependent upon circumstances and events of this world. The peace of God doesn’t depend on what’s happening around us, in our family, in society, in the entire world—wherever…He’s full of trust in God and he has no doubt that in the end, God will do what’s necessary and won’t leave anyone.”
(Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol, talk on the Divine Liturgy)
