Thank you, God for the wonderful gift of
Your Son, Jesus, as we celebrate His birthday.
Help us to remember Him as we give and receive gifts, taking
time to pray for each person and for those who have nothing.
Help us, Lord, to fill this Christmas with You and with Your
love, peace and joy.
Amen
CHRIST IS BORN!
What began in a manger in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago continues
today.
I pray that in each one of us, in our families and neighborhoods, the
mystery of Christmas may be found.
May this Christmas be a time of Peace, Comfort, and Joy for you, your
families, and friends.
Fr. Michael J. Kavanaugh
