Peace
One of the most beautiful messages of Christmas is that of peace. The prophets of the Old Testament put their hope in a Messiah who would bring peace to a war-torn world. And that is what Jesus did. In the Incarnation, we experience God’s desire for all human persons and for all of creation (even wolves and lambs) to live in harmony with each other. The angels proclaimed “peace on earth, goodwill to all” at Jesus’ birth. Your challenge during this Christmas Season is to be people of peace in your actions, words and thoughts. Can you make it through the week without starting any fights or arguing with your family or co-workers? Can you share quiet moments of conversation instead of frantically running here and there? Can you rest peacefully in God’s arms in your prayer time? What are ways you can be peace-makers instead of peace-breakers in your relationships during this special time of year? Next Sunday, January 1st, we celebrate World Peace Day.
