“He himself is our peace “ (Eph 2:14). As we celebrate Christmas Day, we welcome the Child Jesus and realize that as St Paul says, He, in person, is our peace. In unison with the prayer of the Prelate of Opus Dei we confidently implore our newborn Saviour for the gift of peace in the world, in the Church, in our families and in our hearts.
