Greetings for Christmas and the New Year

Silence of the cave The Silence of the pastures The Silence of the night sky Is shattered by a song of praise that sounds through the ages bringing joy and peace to the world.

The Darkness of the cave The Darkness of the pastures The Darkness of the night sky Is broken by a light, by the light of glory that dispels all darkness for all time.

– Brigid Quinn Laquer

I

n the tender compassion of our God the dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

– Luke 1: 78-79

M

ay we live in the light of glory.

May we be bearers of that light to the places of darkness in our lives and in our world.

Blessings this season of Christmas and in the coming New Year.

Merry Christmas Your Sisters in Jesus and Mary,
