Because of His birth at Bethlehem, we now have access to the peace of God in a way never before available, through the sacrament of reconciliation.

Because of His birth at Bethlehem, we now have the assurance of God’s friendship, through the sacrament of the Eucharist in which we receive the same Jesus whom Mary brought forth on Christmas Day.

Because of His birth at Bethlehem, we now have available the fullness of divine truth through the Church which the Son of Mary established to teach us what we must know to reach our eternal destiny.

Because of His birth at Bethlehem we now can tap the resources of divine power which comes from Christ, to enable us to live up to the humanly impossible demands He places on those who are called by His name.

All of this and more has come into the world through the coming of Christ. But sadly not everyone has this peace of divine forgiveness, or joy of Christ's friendship, or conviction of possessing the truth, or the strength of coping with the trials of life.
