 Christmas Greetings

Saviour. We lift up our hearts to give thanks for this ineffable gift, mindful that by Him we are members of Gods household and children of the heavenly Father. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ-who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children through Jesus Christ unto Himself. (Ephesians 1-3, 5. Holiness of life becomes us at all times but especially during this holy season. Prayer unites us to God, lifts our soul to His presence and makes Us one mind and heart with Him. To praise, adore and thank God is the very heart of prayer. To ask His blessing, to confide in His mercy and walk in His ways will bring peace and comfort to the faithful soul.
 His love is an everlasting love. He has chosen to remain with us in the Most Blessed Sacrament, blessing our prayers and works, comforting and consoling His children. Day and night He watches and comforts us. Where ever He dwells in the tabernacle, there is Bethlehem, Nazareth, Tabor and Calvary. More than that, He comes to each one in Holy Communion and unites us to Himself. This is the consum- nation and perfection of His love. We should be mindful of this love of Jesus Christ which unites us all in Him. We should pray fer vently and frequently, but espe- cially at Christmas, that we may live soOerly and piously and justly in this world. And we should ask God in this season to give us that love of our fellowman which is so necessary in a world torn with wars and rumors of wars. May the peace of Christ in the King dom of Christ prevail everywhere!
 May the spirit of Christmas abide with you in this blessed season and throughout the New Year.
 Sincerely yours in Christ,
 Maurice F. McAuliffe,
 Bishop of Hartford.
