Christmas Time, First Week: Jesus Is Light in the Darkness.Petition: Ask for the grace to receive Jesus, the Savior, as the light of our path.Jesus is here! We now have a way to follow. We have a loving and patient teacher to help us live the destiny for which we were created. We have the spiritual means to live joyously and justly. Our wisdom is deepened and our gifts liberated to create the kingdom of God, here and now.
