I pray you'll have a Joyful Christmas:
a Christmas rooted in the serenity that deep faith provides, strong
enough to survive the disappointments and sorrows life delivers to our
doorstep and exuberant enough to celebrate life’s happiest times. May
the birthday of Christ touch you with deep joy...
And I pray that you'll have a Peaceful Christmas,
the peace the world is so clearly unable to give itself: the peace that
broken hearts long for; the peace that's ours to share with one another
in forgiveness, kindness and charity; the peace that might end wars and
bind nations together. May the birthday of Christ sow seeds of peace
in your heart...
Finally, I pray that you have a Hopeful Christmas.
So much in the world around us encroaches on our capacity to hope: there's a
spirit abroad that seems intent on draining the beauty and poetry from
our lives while our ever burgeoning knowledge robs us of awe and
reverence before the mystery of life, of love and of God. May the
birthday of Christ renew and refresh hope in your heart...
So, I wish you a Joyful, Peaceful and Hopeful Christmas!
