Peace on Earth–sadly again in short supply this Christmas

EVERY Christmas, it seems, we feel obliged to share this same message. The reason why, of course, is that the message is consistently relevant. This year, unfortunately, it seems more relevant than it does in most years.

The message is this: In the midst of what we hope is a joyous celebration of Christmas for everyone, we also hope that all of us can spare a thought and a prayer – and do more if we are able – for a world that seems so full of misery.
