“I pray that all of us – here in our homes and parishes; in war–torn places like Gaza, Israel and Ukraine; wherever there is pain and anguish and turmoil – will come to know the peace of Christ — the greatest gift that any of us could hope for this Christmas.”
‘As you journey through the Christmas season and into the New Year, our prayer for you is that you will be blessed with the peace of Christ in your life, the greatest gift of all — and that this will spur you on, to share in the work for “peace on earth and goodwill to all”.’
‘May we this Christmas as individuals and as communities of faith, in heart and mind “hear the angels sing” the message of Christ’s peace and pray for peace in his world.’
