wishing you joy and peace this Christmas
James Lesesne Wells (1902) "The Flight Into Egypt," Oil on canvas 1930
May each of us welcome the stranger this season, open our hearts and our homes to those, like the Holy Family, who have journeyed so far and yet still need a place to sleep. May those fleeing oppression find our land hospitable and safe. Visit the Justice for Immigrants Campaign.
May you know the joy of the newborn child, the hope of a mother's love, and the peace that comes with a year put to rest and a new day ready to dawn. Visit Feminists for Life.
Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), The Adoration of the Magi, 1503 woodcut
May you find yourself overflowing with the generosity of family and friends. May you find ways to share your abundance with those in need. Visit Catholic Charities USA.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See you in 2009.
