During this second week of Advent, four faith leaders shared thoughts with Fox News Digital about the anticipation of Christmas — and the need to honor God and pray for peace.
"While our world is dominated by the digital landscape, the pause for genuine face-to-face interaction is a profound reminder of divine design," he added. "It is the reason God came to dwell among us. The holiday season, far from being a fleeting respite, should serve as a blueprint for the intentional and ongoing cultivation of meaningful connection." "The peace that our souls need cannot be purchased, faked or manufactured." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
Hancock said that personal interaction helps "ensure that the warmth and feeling of the holidays extend far beyond the calendar, cementing bonds and imparting eternal truths."
