This is the story of a boy named Phinehas.
When he was new in the womb, his parents named him after a mighty warrior. He seemed to be growing healthy and strong.
But less than a month before his birth, they learned he had a genetic disorder and that his chest cavity was too small to support his lungs. He would be unable to breath outside the womb, and he would die almost as soon as he was born.
It was nearly December, and the parents felt no hope or joy.
They did the only thing they knew to do: They prayed for a peace that defied understanding, and they asked friends around the world to do the same.
This is what happened.
