Joyous Christmas and peaceful New Year

My dear Friends

Advent comes to a close and Christmas approaches. The waiting is ended and the birth of Our Lord is near.It is a time of great JOY. But the birth of Jesus is not confined to December 25th; it can happen any time, any place, anywhere.

Incarnation of the Holy in our lives is a very precious thing.New birth is astounding. How often have we experienced cycles of Death and Resurrection in our own lives and it applies to all human beings, including those who claim to have no faith.

The Little Sisters of Joy as a Foundation for Prayer, Peace and Reconciliation was conceived in prayer in Provence exactly fourteen years ago. Over the years it has evolved and changed. One of the most important things to happen was the creation of an Association of Friends, now about 650 in 23 countries.

What gives me the most pleasure is that these Friends are from all religions and cultures and are simply united in their desire for peace. While the birth of The Little Sisters of Joy springs from the very heart of the Church, it is international-it welcomes everyone. And indeed the word 'catholic' means universal.

I wish you all a fruitful, happy Christmas and a peaceful new year.

With love and shalom
Gila
