We gather to celebrate two wonderful feast days within the Christmas season: the Holy Family on December 31 and Mary the Mother of God on January 1. Also, on January 1, the Pope will pray an annual prayer for peace, a tradition which began with Pope Paul VI in 1968. This year, Pope Francis reflects upon the impact of artificial intelligence on world peace, urging the international community to adopt a binding international treaty that regulates its development and use. The pope asserts that new technologies must always be directed to “the pursuit of peace and the common good, in the service of the integral development of individuals and communities.” We unite our prayers with the prayers of Pope Francis, the Holy Family, and our Mother Mary as we celebrate these wonderful feast days. We are very glad to have visitors and out-of-town family members and friends joining us for Mass during the holiday season. Blessing to all of you and your loved ones this Christmas season - Father Lincoln.
