For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)

Let us pray: Almighty Jesus, you are the greatest and most beautiful blessing that God has ever given us. You came into this world at the most perfect time when mankind has lost faith, hope and direction. This Christmas season, we pray that once again you restore the will of those whose faith and hope have wavered because of heavy sufferings. May you lighten once more the path of those who have sinned against you. May you bring back the joy of those who were abused, betrayed and separated from their love ones. Amen.
