Christmas crib at St. Teresa’s Motherhouse, Germantown New York
My friends, as you plug in your
computer, iPhone, iPad or smartphone to recharge the power this
Christmas, be aware of the need to connect to your greater power, Jesus.
Our inner power becomes depleted and our spiritual functionality becomes less
apparent unless we fine tune our awareness to that inner voice that speaks of
peace, harmony and above all love. As Christians we are called to be
fully charged, fully human and above all fully alive.
“The power of this Child, Son
of God and Son of Mary, is not the power of this world, based on might and
wealth; it is the power of love. It is the power, which created the
heavens and the earth, which gives life to all creation: to minerals, plants
and animals; it is the force, which attracts man and woman, and makes them one
flesh, one single existence; it is the power, which gives new birth, pardons
faults, reconciles enemies, and transforms evil into good. It is the
power of God. This power of love led Jesus Christ to strip himself of his
glory and become man; it led him to give his life on the cross and to rise from
the dead. It is the power of service, which inaugurates in our world the
Kingdom of God, a kingdom of justice and peace”. (Pope Francis)
Wishing you and your loved ones
the peace and love of this Christmas season when Jesus humbled himself to share
in our humanity.
Sr. Mary O'Donovan, O.Carm.
Vocation Director
