What does it really mean to have peace? In this special Path for Peace episode, priests and lay witnesses from the Diocese of Salt Lake City reflect on the peace that comes from Jesus Christ. Their stories touch on vocation, conversion, anxiety, suffering, illness, Marian devotion, the sacraments, and the call to become instruments of peace in a divided world. Father Andre Sicard reflects on the peace of the risen Jesus and reminds us that Christian peace does not mean everything will be easy or perfect. Another witness shares how conversion is a lifelong process and how peace sometimes comes after making a difficult decision. A convert to Catholicism reflects on anxiety, suffering, and finding meaning by uniting our pain with Christ. Father Javier shares his experience of dialysis, a kidney transplant, and his deep trust in the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Father Elias Silva calls us to become instruments of peace, while Father Ryan Jimenez explains the biblical meaning of “shalom” and reminds us that true peace is found only in Jesus. No matter where we are in life, Christ still speaks the same words: “Peace be with you.” SEND US YOUR PRAYER INTENTIONS: Email: aveprayerline@gmail.com Text us: +1 (239) 321-9912 WhatsApp: https://wa.link/c6yh18 Prayer line: +1 (239) 842-3325 TO MAKE A DONATION: https://www.mariavision.us/donate WEBSITE: https://www.mariavision.us FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL: https://www.instagram.com/mariavisionusa https://www.facebook.com/mariavisionusa/ https://www.tiktok.com/@mariavision.usa May God Bless You Always! 00:00 Path for Peace 00:18 Cathedral of the Madeleine 01:31 Father Andre’s Vocation Story 03:04 “Be Bold in the Spirit” 04:02 The Peace of the Risen Jesus 05:02 “Peace Be With You” 06:14 Conversion Is a Lifelong Process 07:38 Peace & Discernment 09:04 Finding Peace in High-Stress Moments 10:20 Christ Understands Our Suffering 11:44 From Secular Judaism to Catholicism 13:28 Anxiety, Gethsemane & Trust 14:49 Turn Your Focus Back to Christ 16:09 Peace Is a Gift 16:45 The Migraine & the Crucifix 17:48 Finding Peace Inside Suffering 19:30 Father Javier’s Story 21:17 Facing Dialysis 22:03 “Why Would God Allow This?” 22:26 Pilgrimage to Our Lady of Guadalupe 23:16 A Sign From Our Lady 24:02 The Kidney Donor 25:16 A Successful Transplant 26:13 “Trust in Mary” 27:17 “Peace Be With You” 27:48 Becoming Instruments of Peace 28:55 Our Lady of Lourdes Parish 29:39 What Does Shalom Mean? 30:09 True Peace Comes From Jesus 30:32 Become a Bearer of Peace 30:52 Final Blessing #PathForPeace #PeaceBeWithYou #JesusChrist #CatholicFaith #ChristianPeace #PrayerForPeace #CatholicTestimony #Conversion #TrustGod #OurLadyOfGuadalupe #CatholicPriest #FaithInSuffering #PrinceOfPeace #SaltLakeCity #MariaVisionUSA

Christian from Austria has returned to Medjugorje many times over the years, including around his 50th birthday. For him, coming back is more than simply visiting a pilgrimage destination. He describes Medjugorje as a place where he feels covered, loved, and at home in the presence of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Christian speaks of Mary as a mother not only to him, but to all people. His message to anyone wondering whether they should make the journey is simple: come and experience it for yourself. Some things cannot be fully explained beforehand. You have to come, reflect, open your heart, and allow the experience to speak to you.

Alejandro, Maria, Kelly, and Jose Luis are originally from Venezuela and now live in the United States. On their very first visit to Medjugorje, they came hoping for a deeper encounter with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, and the faith they had heard so much about through family. Their experience on Apparition Hill immediately left an impression. Surrounded by prayer, Rosaries, pilgrims, and a deep sense of serenity, they say they felt a real peace that moved them interiorly. Their message to anyone struggling with faith is to remain open, rediscover the sacraments, pray the Rosary, spend time in Eucharistic Adoration, and allow Mary to lead you closer to Jesus.

Donna from Romania first heard about Medjugorje around 15 years ago and has since returned five or six times. For her, the Blessed Virgin Mary is not simply part of a pilgrimage—she is a mother who brings peace, helps her understand what God is asking of her, and continually leads her closer to Jesus Christ. Donna describes Medjugorje as “a place where you find yourself as God made you.” Each pilgrimage becomes an opportunity to let go of sin, pride, and the things that distract us from God’s will. What she hopes to carry home is simple but powerful: peace and hope for her family, coworkers, parish, and everyone she encounters. Her invitation to others is just as simple: come, pray, find yourself, and find Mary and God.

Can the way we dress actually help us grow closer to God? In this conversation, author Mary Harper reflects on the inspiration behind *Liturgical Lifestyle* and how clothing, color, textiles, and personal style can become part of prayer. Rather than reducing liturgical dressing to a set of rules, she explains how anyone can invite the Holy Spirit into the ordinary act of getting dressed and allow the beauty of the Church’s liturgical year to shape daily life. The conversation explores everything from Ordinary Time and the symbolism of green, to linen as a sign of purification and surrender, to the courage and joy represented by the red of the martyrs. Mary also shares how beauty and personal style can spark conversations with people who may not otherwise be interested in faith. Even something as simple as an outfit can become a quiet form of evangelization—pointing beyond ourselves toward truth, goodness, and ultimately Christ.

“Peace be with you.” These were among the first words spoken by the risen Jesus to His disciples. From St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church in the Diocese of Salt Lake City, Father Elias Silva reflects on the peace of Christ as a gift of reconciliation—a peace that restores our relationship with God and transforms the way we encounter one another. In a world marked by division, polarization, and conflict, Christians are called not only to pray for peace but to become instruments of Christ’s peace. Through the Holy Spirit, each of us can participate in God’s work of reconciliation by bringing mercy, unity, and love into our families, communities, and the wider world. May the peace of the risen Jesus fill our hearts and flow through us to others.

Father Javier Birusman shares a deeply personal testimony of priesthood, illness, fear, and trust in God. After decades of serving as a priest in Utah, kidney disease eventually led him to dialysis and the possibility of a transplant. Frightened and frustrated, he found himself asking why God would allow this suffering when there was still so much work to be done. During a pilgrimage to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, Father Javier prayed the Rosary and entrusted his suffering to Mary. A seemingly simple encounter afterward became, for him, a powerful sign of her intercession. Soon after, a generous donor offered him a kidney, the transplant was successful, and Father Javier came away with an even deeper conviction: in moments of fear and suffering, turn to Mary. Pray the Rosary, trust her intercession, and let her lead you closer to Jesus.

Raised in a culturally Jewish but largely secular family in Los Angeles, he began seriously searching for God at the age of 28. What started as a search for truth and love eventually led him to the Catholic Church. Through prayer, reflection, travel, and seeing the universality of the Church throughout the world, he became convinced that the faith offered something he had been searching for his entire life. After several years of discernment, he was baptized and confirmed at 31. He also shares a deeply personal perspective on anxiety, suffering, and the peace of Christ. Instead of seeing suffering only as something to escape, he looks to Jesus in Gethsemane and on the Cross. When fear and anxiety begin to consume us, his advice is to turn our attention back to Christ, unite our suffering with His, and trust that we are not suffering alone. Peace may not always mean the pain disappears—but it can mean realizing that Jesus is right there with us in it.
