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.

Today, God’s Lavish Mercy, we pray a prayer full of beautiful, hopeful images. It is up to each one of us to ponder the presence of Light in our lives and the corners of shadow. It is up to us as we pray, to invite our God- Emmanuel to be with us in both portions of our experience. It is up to us to look toward the horizon with faith, hope and love in order to understand that God takes flesh in every moment of our lives.
May these images open our hearts to the immeasurable power and beauty of this Feast. Let us savor them slowly as we make our way to the waiting manger:
O Morning Star,
splendor of Light Eternal
and Sun of Righteousness:
Come and enlighten those
who dwell in darkness
and the shadow of death.
