Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. Bless us Lord, this Christmas, with quietness of mind; Teach us to be patient and always to be kind. Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love. Merry Christmas 2002 and Happy New Year 2003! God bless you all! We must be willing to get rid of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is awaiting us. Without faith... nothing is possible. With it... nothing is impossible.
