Advent 2025 - The Christ Candle: God’s Peacebuilding Revolution

On Christmas Eve we light the Christ candle, the center of our Advent wreath. By recovering Advent’s light, we return to Jesus himself—the one whose birth, life, and cross revealed what God’s reign truly looks like. In Christ, divine power entered the world through vulnerability; divine justice arrived through mercy. His coming was—and remains—God’s peacebuilding revolution: nonviolent, enemy-loving, and world-renewing.
