And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
full of grace and truth;
we have beheld his glory,
glory as of the only Son from the Father.

–John 1:14

Thank you, Father, for giving us your Son. Your love stirs us to give to others—our families, our friends, and the poor.

Sr. Anne sent some thoughts on Christmas giving all year long:

In the times a hand reaches with heart
to help another in need,
that is Christmas!
In the times people realize their part in
loving each other,
that is Christmas!
When people spend their time
and energy for others,
that is Christmas!
Whenever we get your support
and love for making others happy,
that is Christmas!
We are happy knowing you, and we thank you for all the help you send throughout the year.

Wishing you a Happy Christmas and New Year!

Sr. Anne
