Today we light the Second Candle of Advent, the Candle of Peace. We remember the prophets who spoke of the coming of Christ, of how a Saviour would be born, a king in the line of King David. The prophet Isaiah called Christ "the Prince of Peace". They told us how he would rule the world wisely and bless all the nations.
When Jesus came he taught people the importance of being peace-makers. He said that those who make peace shall be called the children of God. When Christ comes to us he brings us peace and he will bring everlasting peace when he comes again. We light the Candle of Peace to remind us that Jesus is the Prince of Peace and that through him peace is found.
Today i participated in the Annual Memorial Service at the Hospital, One of the things I did was to pronounce the Benediction. In my prayer I wish the people to be blessed, may God's face shine upon them may He give you His Peace.
I wish you all Peace this season of Advent and Christmas.
