“This Christmas season, the part of the world where Jesus was born is impacted by war. And yet, his promise of peace is everlasting.
“As we gather to celebrate this joyous holiday with family and friends, let us be reminded of the many blessings that we enjoy as a free people and the responsibility we have to each other as children of God.
“On Christmas and always, may we be the light in the darkness.
