01 — The verse
Je vous laisse la paix, je vous donne ma paix. Je ne vous la donne pas comme le monde la donne. Que votre cœur ne se trouble point, et ne s’alarme point.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give it as the world gives. Let your heart not be troubled, and let it not be afraid.

The peace is given, not earned by sounding calm. Learn the sentence so you can offer it, not so you can explain it away.
05 — Say this
Je vous laisse la paix, je vous donne ma paix.
