"Mother of mercy and of hope obtain for the men and women of the third millennium the precious gift of peace; peace in hearts and families, in communities and among peoples; peace above all for those Nations where people fight and die every day.

Obtain that every human being of every race and culture may encounter and accept Jesus, who came down to earth in the mystery of Christmas to give 'His' peace to us.

O Mary, Queen of Peace, give us Christ, the world's true Peace!"

- St. John Paul II

Today's Reflection:

Where do you need more peace in your life? Ask the Child Jesus to grant you the precious gift of His peace this Christmas.
