Listen to the Reflection here!

 

First Reading: Micah 5:1-4a

 

From you shall come forth the ruler of Israel.

 

Thus says the Lord: You, Bethlehem-Ephrathah too small to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel; whose origin is from of old, from ancient times. Therefore the Lord will give them up, until the time when she who is to give birth has borne, and the rest of his kindred shall return to the children of Israel. He shall stand firm and shepherd his flock by the strength of the Lord, in the majestic name of the Lord, his God; and they shall remain, for now his greatness shall reach to the ends of the earth; he shall be peace.

 

 

 

Questions for Reflection

 

1.      What is the peace that Jesus has given us?

 

2.      How can we experience the peace Jesus has given us?

 

3.      How can a Christian promote peace at home, in church, and within the community?
