Candid Catholic Convos 12.8.24 PEACE IN ADVENT

 

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

 

We tend to place a lot of pressure on ourselves this time of year to do all the things in the name of preparing for Christmas. And by its definition, Advent is a season of preparation, but are we preparing the right way or are we being distracted? Making the cookies and sending the cards and putting the tree up in November isn’t really helping us prepare for Jesus’ first or second coming. It’s just stressing us out, and Jesus didn’t come to stress us out. He came to bring peace to the whole world. So how do we find that peace, practically speaking? How can we reframe our Advent so the rest of the season is filled with this peace He promised us? Today we're chatting with Father Key from St. Joan of Arc Parish in Hershey to unpack the meaning of peace, how to embrace it throughout the rest of Advent and we can hold on to it into the new year.
