The theme of the second Sunday of Advent is Peace. Christmas is the celebration of the Birth of the Prince of Peace the “Angel’s Candle,” symbolizes peace. It reminds us of the message of the angels:
Jesus our Prince of Peace, came to conquer Satan and Sin. He came to bring us inner peace and Peace with God, so we would no longer be God's enemies.
Say a prayer today for peace in our world, and today would be a good time to make up with any family member that you have argued with, remember forgiveness is a command, at least you can try. Let's go into this Christmas Season with forgiveness for others, and peace in our hearts, especially towards our families. If they choose to hold on to bitterness and resentment, do not return it, turn the other cheek and forgive.
At Christmas time, goodwill toward men, love, joy and peace are talked about and people make the extra effort to love others.
After relighting the previous week’s candle, today we light a second purple candle representing Peace!
