· 25 Dec 2007, Tuesday 11 am · The Nativity of the Lord, Christmas
If a tree falls, it makes a lot of noise;
but if a thousand flowers bloom,
it happens in the greatest of silence.— Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J.
Something to ponder this Christmas day…
Wake me up Father so that I won’t miss you. Purify my heart so that I may see You, so that I may see You in others, and others may see You in me.

Keep hope alive.
Dare to trust.
Surrender to grace.
··· Reflect love. ···
Gravitate to humility.
Pray always.
All is gift.
