Deacon Pat Hessel offers a heartfelt and reflective homily centered on fear, disruption, and the unexpected peace Christ brings. Using the imagery of the shepherds’ lives being upended by the angelic announcement and a touching father-son anecdote involving a torn picture of the world, he illustrates how true peace comes when we let Christ piece us back together. The homily invites listeners to ponder how Jesus may be breaking into their lives not to comfort them but to transform them radically and fully.
