Second Sunday of Advent

 

Peace! As we enter the second week of Advent, our hearts turn toward the gift of peace. Peace is not only the absence of conflict. It is a way of living with patience, kindness, and a deep trust in God.

This week invites us to think about the environment and culture we create. In a season that can feel hurried, how do we bring a sense of calm to those around us? How do we speak to one another in a way that brings understanding rather than tension? Advent gives us a gentle reminder to slow down and look honestly at how our daily actions shape the spirit of our school.

This week we celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Scripture gives us many stories that help us see how God works through moments of reconciliation and hope. When we pray and reflect with them, we help them see that they, too, can bring peace into their own lives and into the world. May the peace of Christ settle within us and shine through all we do. May peace fill our hearts, our homes, and our universe.
