Sister Virginelle

Countdown! Preparation! What has Christmas become for us? It wasn’t even Thanksgiving, and yet, the stores were ready for Christmas. Candy with red and green coloring is on display, as are trees, wreaths and decorations. You worry that if you don’t make gift purchases now, the items will sell out. Have we become so accustomed to holidays and holydays that we forget the gifts we have received? God calls us to open our eyes and hearts to the wonder of His love for us. Mary and Joseph had to do this. Let us remember that, if we allow God to work within us, we will discover the love and peace that all those Christmas cards proclaim.
