Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church

Beyond Christmas days and beyond Christmas season, the Christmas love lives on, the Christmas bliss goes on, the Christmas feeling expands.

When the Christmas spirit lives on and on, when the power of love created during the Christmas days is kept alive and growing, then peace among all mankind is growing as well. The holy gift of love is an eternal gift of love put into your heart like a seed.

Christmas is thus about God and Love.
Love is the key to peace among all mankind.
Love is the key to peace and happiness within all creation.
Love needs to be practiced - love needs to flow - love needs to make happy.
Love starts with your partner, with your children with your parents and with your family and expands to the entire world.

May your days be bright, and your heart be light!
May this glorious day of our Savior's birth
Resound with hope and peace on earth!
Merry Christmas!
Fr. Mariadas J. Lipton

GOD OUR FATHER

CREATOR OF THE WORLD,
YOU ESTABLISH THE ORDER
WHICH GOVERNS ALL AGES.
HEAR OUR PRAYER
AND GIVE US PEACE IN OUR TIME,

AND PRAISE YOU WITHOUT END.
WE ASK THIS THROUGH OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST, YOUR SON,
WHO LIVES AND REIGNS WITH YOU
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT,
ONE GOD, FOREVER AND EVER.
AMEN
