  • Peace

    In Advent, Christians relive a dual impulse of the spirit; on one hand, they raise their eyes towards the final destination of their pilgrimage through history, which is the glorious return of the Lord Jesus; on the other, remembering with emotion His birth in Bethlehem, they kneel before the crib.” Pope Benedict XVI The Lord…
