‘Twas the Night Before Christmas…

Christmas Eve 2023

Come, walk around our quiet Motherhouse as Advent wanes and we await the Christmas Dawn. Mercy holds each one of you in prayer this Holy Night.

And may each of us, in our prayer, hold all those suffering throughout the world from war, hunger, sickness, poverty, and all the other brokenness that Jesus comes to heal.

    I LOVED viewing your Christmas Eve video, Sister! I hope that you share this again next year, and the next…
    The music that accompanied the photos and text was a perfect pairing. It evoked such tranquility.
    Thank you so much, and wishing you many Christmas Blessings!
