‘May the Peace of the Holy Family fill your heart and home’
My Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
For the past year, we have been living the Jubilee Year of Hope. A year where Pope Francis called and challenged each of us to be pilgrims of HOPE. Living witnesses to the love, mercy and compassion of our God, truly treating each other as brothers and sisters.
In a few days, we will gather with family and friends to celebrate the source of all hope:
“Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means
‘God is with us.’” (Mt. 1:23)
May the peace of the Holy Family fill your heart and home. And may the light of Christ break through the darkness of our world, guiding us into a New Year filled with renewed faith, good health, happiness and hope.
God bless you this day and always.
Sincerely, your brother in Christ,
+James P. Powers
