(our friary Christmas tree)
From all your Franciscan brothers at the Prayer Fraternity here in AVA, MO -- a Most Blessed Christmas, a Most Holy Day when we celebrate the birth of our salvation, a Day to unite (or re-unite) hearts with family and friends in prayer that this Prince of Peace will shower his Peace over our un-peaceful world. May you come to know and love EMMANUEL -- God-with-Us -- in ever newer and deeper ways! MERRY CHRISTMAS from all of us here! Thank you for being GIFT in our lives!
Grant, we pray, almighty God,
that, as we are bathed in the
new radiance of your incarnate Word,
the light of faith, which illumines our minds,
may also shine through in our deeds.
(Opening prayer from Christmas Mass at Dawn)
