according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, (Romans 16:25b)
Holy Spirit, help us earnestly contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints (see Jude 3). Establish us daily in the teaching of the apostles.

Ask the Lord for the gift of peace. Remember His words, “Peace I give to you, My peace I leave with you. I do not give as the world gives! Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid.” The peace of God therefore is out of this world. Receive the gift of peace this Christmas season.
