“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government
will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called "Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlast-
ing Father, Prince of Peace." Of
the increase of his government and
of peace there will be no end, upon
the throne of David, and over his
kingdom, to establish it, and to up-
hold it with justice and with right-
eousness from this time forth and
for evermore. The zeal of the
LORD of hosts will do this.”
(Isaiah 9:6-7)
For to us a Child is born! In the face
of a child is newness and life, inno-
cence and hope. How fitting it is that
in the face of this Child– the Christ—is the newness and life; the source of
all hope and innocence restored! Let us be counted among the wise men
who seek Him above every earthly thing and thus receive all we need. This
world will pass away but He will not. May the joy of His birth transform
our lives so much so that we disregard all our anxieties of this world and
receive the Prince of Peace whose peace will have no end.

Prayer for Families
Loving God,
During this holy season of Christmas,
we ask for Your blessing on all
families.
Let Mary’s openness to Your wondrous
ways be an inspiration to place all trust
in You.
Let Joseph’s courage provide hope
during times of anxiety and uncertainty.
Let Jesus’ life ignite all families with a
spirit of light and love.
May the grace that encircled the Holy
Family widen to embrace all families.
