This is a season of hope and rejoicing as we celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace.
No words of mine can add luster to the splendid triumph in which you have just shared.
We rededicate ourselves in this season of good will to the ultimate promise of peace made 2,000 years ago.
It reminds us that our first and most compelling task is peace.
