As Christmas draws nigh

"Like the shepherds of old, we need to say in our hearts, 'Let us see this thing which is come to pass.' We need to desire it in our hearts. Let us see the Holy One of Israel in the manger, on the mount, and on the cross. Like the shepherds, let us glorify and praise God for these tidings of great joy!"

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

 

As Christmas draws nigh,

may we open our hearts to receive once again a witness that Christ was born as the Savior of the world, that He lives, and that because of Him,

we will live again.
