righteousness and peace

Recently I was in conversation with some friends about this upcoming Sunday's lectionary texts, and Psalm 85 has given me pause... such a great line in verse 10:
Love and faithfulness meet together;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.

Advent is a "coming together" season: divinity and humanity coming together in Jesus... love and faithfulness coming together in his Kingdom. And righteousness and peace intimately coming together in the way we live.

Could this be also Paul's "holy kiss"? Just thinking ...

Pastor,
I think it might be Paul's "holy kiss" but not 100% sure at this point
