We have every reason to rejoice as good news of great joy is proclaimed at Christmas: For unto us a Savior is born who is Christ and Lord. In a world experiencing so much unrest a Savior is born who announces peace, brings glad tidings, comforts his people, and unites us as God’s holy family. A Savior is born who is Emmanuel, God with us! He knows us and loves us, and is the source of our courage, strength, and consolation, especially amid our burdens and trials. And for all these gifts, the Lord asks so little in return. He simply wants us to be faithful; to trust him; to be reconciled with him and one another; and to continue our acts of goodness charity so prevalent at this time of year. May the peace of our Lord and Savior be yours at Christmas and always.
