2016 Christmas Gi Guide
O sweet Child of Bethlehem, grant that we may share with all our hearts in this profound
mystery of Christmas. Put into the hearts of men and women this peace for which they
sometimes seek so desperately and which you alone can give to them. Help them to know one
another beer, and to live as brothers and sisters, children of the same Father. Reveal to them
also your beauty, holiness and purity. Awaken in their hearts love and gratitude for your infinite
goodness. Join them all together in your love. And give us your heavenly peace. Amen.
Christmas Prayer of St. John XXIII
Adoration of the Shepherds • Guido Reni • 1575-1642
