By The following are Advent reflections from the International Board of Pax Christi International. This page will be updated as the reflections and translations are prepared. We encourage use of these texts in prayers and worship as we look toward the coming of Jesus Christ. They are inspired by Pope Francis’ recent encyclical Fratelli Tutti and its significance for peacebuilding and nonviolence.
