Lighting the Advent Candle of Peace

Responsive reading

In the spectacular and glorious colors of a brilliant sunrise, in the cheerful laughter or memory of a table full of friends or family, in a moment of intuition that turns on the light of discernment and leads us toward wisdom, we find the peace that passes all understanding. But there are things we need to think about, ideas we need to comprehend. May we be attuned to hear the stories of those who stumble and struggle to find peace. Peace is what the prophets foretold. Peace is what is sacrificed when profit takes precedence. In this second week of Advent, as the waiting and expectation heighten, our desire for peace deepens. Like the wise called to journey in those early dawning days, may we seek, endeavor, and search for peace. Like the prophets old and new, may we cry out for its coming.

All: We light a candle for peace. May it light the way
