MERRY Christmas! The four Sundays of advent passed almost unnoticed. Today, as we celebrate the birth of our Savior, after all the experiences we had, especially those which left us grieving for a lost son, lost families, lost homes, derailed trains, lost opportunities, gangster victims, pitiable exodus to unwilling nations --- all these --- somehow lost in the shadows by the light of His grace. We are calmed by the visit of His Holiness, Pope Francis. We take pride in having hosted world leaders for the APEC summit despite what a great many endured. Yeah, this is Christmas at last!

I shall not add my voice to join the clarion call for peace be to all men. This is a given to us all to contribute to PEACE. Silently, let us then kneel in prayer that God in His infinite goodness keeps all of us safe and that we continue to carry on with passion our respective missions.
