Advent Daily Devotional: Day 12
Thurs, Dec 10 – DAY 12
Communal peace requires a different form of attention and advocacy. By our choices, with our voices, through our actions, we foster local peace. While some people may be in positions to affect national and global peace through high-level policy and practices, many of us shape peace through regional and neighborhood-based activism and engagement.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. — Matthew 5:9
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” — John 20:21
Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures. — John F. Kennedy
Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.

Peace comes from being able to contribute the best that
we have, and all that we are, toward creating a world that supports everyone. But it is also securing the space for others to contribute the best that they have and all
that they are. —Hafsat Abiola
