Best wishes

Christus natus est nobis: venite adoremus!

May the joy of the angels, the eagerness of the shepherds, the perseverance of the wise men, the obedience of Blessed Mary and Joseph and the peace of the Christ Child be with you this Christmas time and throughout the New Year.

This comes to you from the clergy and people of St John's.

O Jesus, who in Thy bitter Passion didst become "the most abject of men, a man of sorrows", I venerate Thy Sacred Face whereon there once did shine the beauty and sweetness of the Godhead; but now it has become for me as if it were the face of a leper! Nevertheless, under those disfigured features, I recognize Thy infinite Love and I am consumed with the desire to love Thee and make Thee loved by all men. O Jesus, I implore Thee to fix deep within me Thy divine image and to set me on fire with Thy Love, that I may be found worthy to come to the contemplation of Thy glorious Face in Heaven. Amen.
