Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright.

Beautiful lyrics that seem entirely disconnected from our present reality. Instead of calm, our city is gripped by fear and uncertainty. Peace feels like a vain hope that is far beyond our reach.

Yet at the heart of the Christmas Story is the birth of a baby - a gift of peace to a weary world full of turmoil and chaos.

Maybe our worlds aren't so far apart. Maybe this peace is available to us today.
