"A mighty Savior..... to guide our feet into the path of peace.” (Luke 1: 69, 79).
Tuesday 24 December, Christmas Eve. At last Advent is almost over. At the heart of the Christmas celebration is the promise of peace and joy, twin gifts that are unmistakable gifts of the Holy Spirit to the Christian and a sure sign of His presence.
Do you know the peace of Christ? This is how Sacred Scripture describes the peace of David in the 1st Reading:
"Once David had settled into his house and the Lord had given him rest [peace] from all the enemies surrounding him." Note that God bestows peace on David. "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." (Isaiah 26: 3).
The Infant Child of Bethlehem promises us:
"A mighty Savior..... to guide our feet into the path of peace.” (Luke 1: 69, 79).
Jesus declared in His public ministry that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. The Way that leads to peace is the way of the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. If there is no peace in your home, at work, in your church or in the world, look at the Beatitudes. (Matthew 5: 3 - 11). The Way of Jesus is the sure guide to peace.
"O Morning star, radiance of eternal light, sun of justice, come and enlighten those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death."
