The text contrasts peace as the world understands it with the peace given by Christ, then reflects on the martyrdom of Saint Stephen and on martyrdom as God’s design rather than human ambition.

 \nReflect now,how Our Lord Himself spoke of Peace.Hesaid to His disciples,Peace I leave with you,my peace I80 give unto you.\"Did He mean peace as we think of it:thekingdom of England at peace with its neighbours,thebarons at peace with the King,the householder countingover his peaceful gains,the swept hearth,his best wine forafriend at the table,his wife singing to the children?Thosemen His disciples knew no such things:they went forth tojourney afar,to suffer by land and sea,to know torture,im-prisonment,disappointment,to sufferdeath bymartyrdom,What then did He mean?If you ask that,remember thenthat He said also,'Not as the world gives,give I unto you.'40 So then,He gave to His disciples peace,but not peace asthe world gives.  \nConsider also one thing of whichyouhaveprobablyneverthought.Not only do we at the feast of Christmas celebrateat once Our Lord's Birth and His Death:but on the nextday we celebrate the martyrdom of His first martyr,theblessed Stephen.Is it an accident,do you think,that theday of the first martyr follows immediately the day of theBirth of Christ?By no means.Just as we rejoice and mournat once,in the Birth and in the Passion ofOurLord;soalso,50 in a smaller figure,we both rejoice and mourm in the deathof martyrs.We mourn,for the sins of the world that hasmartyred them;we rejoice,that another soul is umberedamong the Saints in Heaven,for the glory of God and forthe salvation of men.  \nBeloved,we do not think of a marty simply as s goodChristian who has been killed because he is s Christian:for  \nMurder in the Cathedral  \nthat would be solely to mourn.We do not think of hirnsimply as a good Christian who has bcen elevatecd to thecompany of the Saints:for that would be simply to re-joice:and neither our mourning nor our rejoicing is as the 60world's is.A Christian martyrdom is never an accident,forSaints are not made by accident.Still less is a Christianmartyrdom the effect.of a man's will to become a Saint,asaman by willing and contriving may become a ruler of men.A martyrdom is always the design of God,for His love ofmen,to warn them and to lead them,to bring them back toHis ways.It is never the design of man;for the true mart","cbCaia8MtqEfvKD7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia8MtqEfvKD7","pdf",2486016,"English","# INTERLUDE\n## THE ARCHBISHOP preaches in the Cathedral on Christmas Morning, 1170\n## Part II\n### Characters","[{\"question\":\"What does the sermon say about the “peace” announced at Christmas?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that Christ’s peace is not the peace the world gives.
