Jesus Christ, the Savior, was born
The light glitter, the sound of the bells, the expression of joy on the child’s face….it seems that there is no doubt: it’s Christmas!
The Atmosphere helps, but it’s not enough (at least if there’s not an inner attitude) in order that everyone could live the big mystery we could contemplate in this Holy Night:” And the angel said, have no fear; for truly, I give you good news of great joy which will be for all the people: on this day, in the town of David, a Saviour has born, who is Christ the Lord” (Lc 2,10b-11).
Mother Esperanza, while Christmas is arriving, writes to the different communities of the sisters of the Merciful Love: “ I think that you all are very busy while preparing your hearts to receive Jesus that has just been born. Let’s make sure that Jesus will find our hearts warm for the love and charity fire. “(El pan 20, cir. 8).
Our Mother always lived (and the people who stayed with her too) the Christmas day in a very special way. She wanted that the Sisters, and the Sons too, prepared themselves intensely and with great love for the celebration of Jesus’ coming on earth. Even if the Sisters were always busy with their work, they anyway found the way to prepare the “Bambinelli” and the nativity scene all over the house: all different and meaningful and the Mother went to visit them on Christmas day with her Daughters.
Our religious family wishes all of you to live fully and intensely this Holy Christmas, in contemplation of the poverty and humble condition in which our Saviour became flesh.
God grant your families peace and serenity, especially for those who are facing difficult moments.
Sons and Sisters of Merciful Love
