Mary’s Child: the Prince of Peace
Elizabeth said: ‘Blessed is she who believed that the promise made to her by the Lord would be fulfilled’. This week we celebrate the wonderful feast of Christmas. Mary is by far the best person to teach us what it is about as she was very central to the first Christmas.

What Christ Calls Us To
Jesus said to his disciples: “Why do you observe the splinter in your brother’s/sister’s eye and never notice the plank in your own?” What a powerful statement that is to help us change in our relationships of marriage, family, and faith community, if we are to make a real difference in our world. Negative criticisms so easily become a way of life in marriage and family life. Generally, these are about relatively unimportant things and we make mountains out of mole hills. The plank in our own eye is what blocks us from seeing the goodness in one another and acknowledging that goodness as our way of life. Criticism leads to unhappiness, coldness and distance in our family life. Praise and thanksgiving lead to joy and happiness and peace. The same is true in our life with one another in our parish community. That is what Christ calls us to.
Morning Prayer, when together
Lord, guide the course of world events
and give us as a married couple and all your Church
the joy and peace of serving you in freedom
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
During the day, when apart
God our Creator, may our married love,
which we offer you again this week
as a sign of our love and worship
lead us to salvation.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Evening/Night Prayer together
God of salvation may our sacrament of marriage
bring us and all those we love to eternal life.
We make our prayer through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Questions for Action for the week

Reach out as a couple this week.
