During this past Advent, as I was praying my rosary for the intention of peace, something struck me. In praying for peace, I was praying for is the return of Christ. I say this because I know, based on my understanding of Scripture and Tradition, that as long as we exist in our unglorified state on this earth, there will always be strife between people and peoples. This did not make me stop praying for peace, but do so all the more.
