December morning, House Hochfelden
European Region
Lord, we cry out to you: Look, many people, many nations live in “darkness and in the shadow of death”.
Security has been shattered, law and justice are being trampled underfoot, rulers are putting the freedom and lives of countless people at risk. Images of unimaginable suffering, violence and destruction keep haunting us day and night.
Lord, we long for your light and your peace - peace that the world cannot bring. Lord, we long for you!
In these Advent days, let us not ignore the voice of St. John: Repent! Prepare the way for the Lord in the desert!
Lord, your way is the path of peace, direct our steps towards it. It is the path that does not answer injustice with injustice, violence with violence. It is the path of hope, the path of love. It is the path on which we find you, on which your star shines for us, on which we hear the message of your angels “Do not be afraid” and “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”
