We publish a wish for peace ​​by Father Luigi Faccenda, OFM Conv., founder of the Fr. Kolbe Missionaries of the Immaculata. It dates back to 1970, but it is timeless
 
Peace be with you!This is the wish that I extend to you on this Christmas 1970 which the goodness of the Lord grants us to celebrate in unity of spirit and affection.
Yes, peace! What gift can be greater and more desirable than that which the Son of God brought to earth, that the Seraphic Father St. Francis wished to all his fellow men and brothers, and that forms the longing of peoples, families, and every society?
 
Peace! Yet peace requires a condition, without which it is useless to hope for it: good will.

Therefore I wish you the good willthat leads to love, compassion, and forgiveness. The good will which makes us think good of those around us, forgets the injuries received, and puts the actions of others in the right light.
 
I wish you the good willwhich can offer pains and sacrifices and turn every cross into a lovely smile; which is not malicious in thought and deed, and does not see malice in the works of others.

I wish you the good willthat values the goods received and is always grateful in everything.

I wish you the good willwhich believes all things, always hopes, and deeply loves.
