Sir Godfrey Gregg
"Silent Night, Holy Night." It’s one of the most beloved carols for a reason. It captures a universal longing for a moment of profound peace. In the middle of this bustling season, how often do we truly experience a silent night? A moment where the shopping is done, the wrapping is finished, the guests have gone home, and all is still?
Tonight, if you can, step outside. Look up at the winter sky. Breathe in the cold, crisp air. Listen to the quiet. In that stillness, the commercial noise of Christmas fades away, and what remains is the simple, stunning truth of the season: it is a time for love, for reflection, for connection with something greater than ourselves.
Whether your faith is strong or your beliefs are secular, the gift of a silent moment is for everyone. It’s a chance to let go of the stress and simply be grateful—for the love of family, the comfort of home, the beauty of the world. May you find your own "silent night" this season, and may it fill you with a deep and abiding peace.
