Next morning, Cathy found it heavy in her mind like an unbearable thing after having read the news. Cathy was wondering and confusing. But she finally found herself at peace.

Every day, walking out of the dormitory, Cathy headed toward the school mail room. She was much interested in getting messages from her family loved ones living far away. Cathy always hoped and prayed in her heart that her loved ones could experience inward relaxation and peace that will lead to confident living.

As usual, Cathy used to spend some time reading the Times magazine and others daily newspapers. During this fall, Cathy observed at successive news after Sept 11 at World Trade Center in New York. Cathy was thankful when she knew that all of her loved ones there were living in peace.

Somehow, suddenly, Cathy lifted up her eyes to the column on the top of the daily news that she missed reading. Cathy became perplexed and overwhelmed when she read "anthrax" as a bio-terrorism. This bio- terrorism caused fear and death to human race. Cathy became increasingly worried and fearful.

But at the most bewildering moments, Cathy remembered her dearest brother's words of encouragement. Her face was peaceful and appeared to be untroubled when she knew that there was peace - true peace that was found in only Jesus - the Prince of Peace.

In fact, Jesus, the Son of God came to the earth more than 2000 years ago. He came to bring everlasting peace to the face of terror and our fears - our fear of life and our fear of death.

Mankind is living in a topsy-turvy world, where all is confusion. Yet, those who believe in Jesus, Prince of Peace, receive the true peace. If you would like to know more about peace that only He can provide, please click here.
