Peace in the Storm: Meditations on Chronic Pain and Illness

For nearly 20 years, Peace in the Storm: Meditations on Chronic Pain and Illness has brought encouragement and inspiration to thousands of faithful who live with the serious, ongoing health conditions. In its 110 scripture-based meditations, readers will find examples of how they can find God's grace in some of the toughest situations with illness, and how Jesus' support and tenderness are a comfort in the midst of pain. The prayers at the end of each meditation provide expression to the deep yearning, joy, and gratitude that come with journeying through a life of illness and pain with true, abiding faith. Now in a new publishing home, Peace in the Storm... is the only devotional focused on chronic pain and illness that holds the nihil obstat and imprimatur - ecclesial designations signifying that the book is free from any error in Catholic teaching. This version contains exactly the same text as the original version and is the basis for the national ministry of pastoral accompaniment for persons with chronic pain and illness, The Peace in the Storm Project.
