The Second Week of Advent is the week of Peace. Jesus came to be the “Prince of Peace.” Peace is the Hebrew word shalom which means completeness or well-being. Jesus did not come just to end wars, but to make us complete by saving us from our sinfulness.
“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.” -- Romans 15:4-7 (KJV)
