Reflect

Only if people change will the world change; and in order to change, people need the light that comes from God, the light which so unexpectedly [on the night of Christmas] entered into our night.


—Pope Benedict XVI, Homily at Mass for the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord, December 25, 2008

Pray

Pray one of these three prayers to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton today.
