Advent reflection: Peace

Todays Catholic

You are Peace.

We await you oh Jesus!

We are fretting – come and ease us

With your Peace.

 

We are anxiously waiting

And eagerly advocating;

Bring us Peace.

 

A virgin is with child;

On a donkey they are piled

Carrying Peace.

 

A long journey lies ahead;

Over mountains they must tread

Yet there’s Peace.

 

Shepherds sleep in restful grasses;

Angels appear by the masses

Singing Peace.

 

Telling of a newborn King,

The one of whom these angels sing

Of coming Peace.

 

Their song makes the shepherds weep;

They load their packs and their sheep

To meet Peace.

 

Kings come from foreign lands,

Traveling years upon the sands

To honor Peace.

 

Astronomy has pointed to a star

That leads them to a place afar

They find Peace.

 

Virgins, shepherds, sheep, and kings

All await what this child brings.

Who is Peace?

 

Oh mercy mild;

Who is this child?

You are Peace.
