To meet Christ this Christmas, we need the Holy Spirit to guide us (see Jn 16:13). Most of us have the Holy Spirit because we have been baptized and confirmed. However, the central question is: "Does the Holy Spirit have us?"
The only true Christmas Spirit is the Holy Spirit. Are you in the Christmas Spirit? "Come, Holy Spirit!"
| PRAYER: | "May the God of peace make you perfect in holiness. May He preserve You whole and entire, spirit, soul, and body, irreproachable at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thes 5:23). |
| PROMISE: | "He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners, to announce a year of favor from the Lord." —Is 61:1-2 |
| PRAISE: | "O Wisdom, O holy Word of God, You govern all creation with Your strong yet tender care. Come and show Your people the way to salvation." |
