“[T]he Lord’s Birth is at hand…. [T]here is a divine plan that apprehends and explains the times and places of the coming into the world of the Son of God. It is a plan of peace… [a] prophecy of peace for every person which obliges Christians to immerse themselves in the closures, tragedies, that are often unknown and hidden, and in the conflicts of the context in which they live, with the sentiments of Jesus so that they may become everywhere instruments and messengers of peace, to sow love where there is hatred, pardon where there is injury, joy where there is sadness and truth where there is error…
“‘He shall be peace’, says the Prophet referring to the Messiah. It is up to us to open, to fling open wide the doors to welcome him. Let us learn from Mary and Joseph: let us place ourselves with faith at the service of God’s plan. Even if we do not understand it fully, let us entrust ourselves to his wisdom and goodness. Let us seek first of all the Kingdom of God, and Providence will help us.” (Pope Benedict XVI, Sermon for the Fourth Sunday of Advent, 2009)
