The second week of Advent is the message of peace. The understanding of the word “peace” is limited to worldly peace – the absence of war or conflict. But the word peace – as proclaimed by the angels to the shepherds at the birth of Jesus – has a much more spiritual significance. Happy Advent to all celebrating.
True peace is not merely the absence of war, it is the presence of justice.
Jane Addams
Well said Cat In The Hat. Peace should be everywhere. Let’s hope and work for it.
Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me…St. Francis of Assisi.
Work for peace. Pray for peace. Live for peace. Love thy neighbors all over the world.
I believe in a pure sense that God disapproves of all the hate that is going on here on Earth. The way minorities, LGBTQ, and others who are not white, straight and the like get is pretty evil in my mind. It’s time to calm down the hate. No one who is just trying to make it in the world deserves to be hated or threatened.
It’s time for those who hate and spread hate to grow the hell up and realize that everyone should have a chance to make it in this crazy world. I truly believe that hate is hell on Earth. Let’s do that peace and love thing. Let’s do better for all people.
May people everywhere have abundant peace.
