The World Makes Us Look Towards Ourselves,

When We Are Generous In Welcoming People And Sharing Something With Them-some Food, A Place In Our Homes, Our Time-not Only Do We No Longer Remain Poor: We Are Enriched.

It Is God Who Gives Life. Let Us Respect And Love Human Life, Especially Vulnerable Life In A Mother's Womb.

My Brothers, The United States Bishops, Have Reminded Us, All Are Called To Be Vigilant, Precisely As Good Citizens, To Preserve And Defend That Freedom From Everything That Would Threaten Or Compromise It.

Like Mary, May We Nurture The Light Born Within Us At Christmas. May We Carry It Everywhere In Our Daily Lives.

Jesus Came To Save Us: Let Us Not Reject This Marvelous Gift!
