Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago was the senior active cardinal in the hierarchy of the Catholic Church.

Chicago in 1982, the newly-named Cardinal won the hearts of many when he introduced himself to the priests of the Windy City as "your brother Joseph," striking the devout and gentle tone from which he seldom varied during the next 15 years of his increasingly public ministry. He tells of his own diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Bernardin here shares fully and honestly his own struggles to live wholly and faithfully in the midst of suffering. He says: ??I can say in all sincerity that I am at peace. I consider this as God'??s special gift to me.

The Cardinal died November 14, 1996. In the final two months of his life, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin made it his mission to share his personal reflections and insights. His story is open and honest. At the end of his life, the Cardinal was at peace and accepted his peace as a gift from God. The Gift of Peace is part of the Cardinals pastoral legacy. From The Gift of Peace: â??The past three years have taught me a great deal about myself and my relationship to God, the Church, and others. . . . Within these major events lies the story of my life- what I have believed and who I have worked hard to be. And because of the nature of these events, I have spirituality and gained insights that I want to share. They are simply reflections from my heart to yours. I hope they will be of help to you in your own life so you too can enjoy the deep inner peace-Godâ??s wonderful gift to me-that I now embrace as I stand on the threshold of eternal life.â? I invite those who read this book to walk with me the final miles of my life'??s journey. Peace and love, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin
