Peace is not the product of terror or fear. Peace is not the silence of cemeteries. Peace is not the silent result of violent repression. Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all. Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity. It is right and it is duty.
During the Advent season, Christians around the world practice time travel. We deepen our faith by spending 24 days re-connecting with the circumstances surrounding Jesus’ birth and by remembering why his coming was worth anticipating in the first place.
