Advent 2: Deep-Rooted Peace

God's gift of Peace arises doesn't come as an escape route out of the world. True Peace comes when, with God's help, we take root and live fully in this world as it is, embracing it as we receive Christ's presence. Christ is with us as light in the midst of darkness, deep inner rootedness and firm calmness in the midst of storm and strife, stillness in the midst of uncertainty.
