15MAY22 (22cE5). We must love as Jesus loved us. We can not give what we have not first received. When we offer peace in Mass at the kiss/sign of peace we do not offer our solution or good will, but the peace that has been extended to us from Jesus Christ. Two great articles to speak more about the sign of peace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pax_(liturgical_object)
