The time of year when we focus on peace, we often find very little of it. The season that is supposed to celebrate the birth of the “Prince of Pease” is ...read more

    The unknown shepherds became the privileged ones to received the Christmas news first. They BELIEVED the message, they BECAME the message and they were TRANSFORMED by the message.
