Cruz Ignatius of the Diocese of Darwin shared a reflection on finding inner peace through the acceptance of imperfection.

The reflection suggests that stress and preoccupation make it difficult for people to recognize the divine spark within themselves and others. Ignatius notes that while humans often long for perfection, only God is perfect, which can lead to disappointment with oneself and the world.

Drawing on the teachings of St. Augustine and the Serenity Prayer, the reflection encourages people to use wisdom to accept what they cannot change. Ignatius states that with God's grace, individuals can maintain their peace by focusing on the positive aspects of reality rather than what is lacking.
