Peace - the second Sunday of Advent

A week ago I blipped about the beginning of Advent. So it follows that this Sunday is the 2nd.

Traditionally the second candle represents Peace. What does that word mean to you?
A bit of peace and quiet? Not a lot of chance of that in this day and age.
The absence of strife? Well that seems to be a futile wish.
Inner peace and calm? How many of us can claim that we are truly peaceful?

As we are encouraged to participate in the frenetic run up to Christmas, as we seem to be experiencing a fundamental shift in our standards of living we all need to seek our own understanding of peace.

I hope you find it.
