Today, the second Sunday of Advent, the second candle is lit that represents peace to remind us that true peace is possible, because through Jesus we are reconciled to God and to one another.

"Peace, peace, the people say, but there is not peace." We look around us and we certainly don't see peace. Trouble and trials, pain and suffering is rampant. Even is this violent and hurting world we can trust God's great love which is stronger than all our weakness, troubles and fear.
