News for Sunday, December 8, 2024 – Second Sunday of Advent

This Second Sunday of Advent, we will light the candle of Peace. But how do we find peace in a world that seems anything but peaceful? Where do we discover that promised peace amidst the clamour and chaos of daily life, the anxiety of global events, or the personal struggles we each face? We must recognize that the peace Advent promises is not merely an absence of conflict, but rather a deep-rooted sense of stillness within our souls. It is the unwavering trust that God is present, even in the midst of turmoil, and that His love ultimately prevails.

This peace is cultivated through intentional practices: prayer, studying God's word, worship and acts of service to others. It is found in forgiveness, both of ourselves and of others. It is nurtured in moments of gratitude, when we recognize the blessings that surround us, even in the midst of challenges. But this peace is not meant to be contained; it longs to be shared. This Advent, let us commit to cultivating these practices, allowing the peace of Christ to take root within us and radiate outwards. Let us be peacemakers in our families, our community, and our world, extending grace ans compassion to all we meet.
