The Will to Dream: Prophetic Peace
2nd Sunday of Advent. This Advent, we reclaim peace as prophetic. It asks of us more than comfort— it asks for courage to speak truth, to confront injustice masked as civility, and to prepare our communities for a peace that dismantles and rebuilds.

Scripture:
Matthew 3:1-12; Malachi 3:1-6a
