O LORD, You will establish peace for us, for indeed, all that we have done, You have done for us, establishing that the peace granted to the faithful community is God's gift, and acknowledging that what appears to be human accomplishment is in fact God's work through human instruments. The recognition that God has done all that the community has done reveals a profound theological humility and a correct understanding of the relationship between divine action and human agency. The establishment of peace becomes an act of grace rather than a reward earned through human merit. This verse suggests that salvation's deepest grace is the recognition that all good flows from God, that human achievement is always and finally God's achievement through human cooperation.
