Today will be a busy day for many of us, if not all, as we make our final preparations  for Christmas celebrations. May we find God's peace in our lives and families over these next few days.

        One of the ways we can do this is by healing the divisions that lie within each of us. As we gaze upon our Christmas creches, ask God to bring the warmth that Mary and Joseph experienced as a family on that cold night two thousand years ago in Bethlehem.

       Once we truly capture that peace, that is, the Christ Child, then we can begin to heal the divisions that sometimes divide us. 

      Merry Christmas everyone.......
