December 7, 2020

Monday of the Second Week of Advent

The Light of Peace

 

“Let us learn from Christ how to pray, to forgive, to sow peace, and to be near those in need.” -Pope Francis

Scripture:

Isaiah 35:1-10
Luke 5:17-26

Reflection:

Alexis Salazar is a Young Adult Core Team Member at Mater Dolorosa Passionist Retreat Center in Sierra Madre, California.

Prayer for Peace

Loving God,
during this season when many people,
whether they are Christian or not,
act out of goodwill towards others,
our thoughts and prayers turn to peace.
We long for the day when

“swords” are turned “into plowshares,”
and “spears into pruning hooks.”
As we await the coming of the Prince of Peace,
fill our hearts with Your Peace,
and give us the strength to make peace

in Your beloved world.
We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen. 

-Father Phil Paxton, CP
