Celebrate Advent and Other Multi-cultural Holidays of Light,
Amidst the Darkness
By Susie Leonard Weller, M.A.
Although Jesus lived during the tumultuous times of Roman oppression, slavery, and significant religious divisions, he continued to preach the "Good News." During this Advent Season (December 1-24) and other holidays celebrating light amid darkness in the Northern Hemisphere, find ways to express your light in our world. Instead of focusing on what divides, discover ways to build bridges that unite us.
Advent and "advent"ure share the Latin root "to come." This season invites us to explore what wants to "come" into our lives. Facing and transforming our fears can become a "midwife" to give birth to what is Divine within. Similar to the slow process of gestation in pregnancy, it takes time to grow our capacity for new life. Advent is an opportunity to deepen our commitment to slow down and enjoy a meaningful holiday season.
For Christians, the evergreen Advent wreath with four candles is a reminder of eternal life. The first purple, or Prophecy Candle, reminds us to be hopeful and trust the promises from God will be fulfilled. The second purple, or Bethlehem Candle, invites us to become peacemakers and to honor Jesus as the Prince of Peace. The third candle is pink, a liturgical color for joy. As the Shepherd's Candle, it prompts us to find joy amid challenges and celebrates the shepherd's jubilant anticipation of seeing the Christ Child in Bethlehem. The fourth candle is purple, or Angel's Candle, and focuses on love and God's presence in our midst. Some people add a fifth white candle, the Christ Candle, on Christmas day.

History of the Season for Nonviolence
The annual 64-day Season for Nonviolence was launched at the United Nations in 1998. Since then, peacemakers from over 67 countries have participated in this educational and grassroots campaign. It was co-founded by Gandhi’s grandson, Arun, and the Association for Global New Thought (AGNT).
The season spans these two memorial anniversaries: Mahatma Gandhi (January 30th) and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (April 4th).

64 days of
Reflections & Actions
for Peacemaking
By Susie Leonard Weller, M.A
The intent of this booklet is to support personal reflection and application of the principles on nonviolence, to promote group discussion, and to strengthen commitment to take action as peacemakers.
Feeling shattered is not the end of the story. Being a peacemaker is the willingness to be “cracked open” and praying for the Light to flow from the inside, out.
