Christmas Eve

The 4 already lighted candles of this wreath have represented for us, faith, peace, love and hope. Now we light the last candle to remember the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. As the prophets promised so long ago, you have come to us once again; and with the shepherds, we are filled with wonder and amazement.
May the flame of this candle remind us that Jesus Christ is the light of the world, and that if we follow Him, we will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

Quote of the week: "Let us suppose that God is like an immense and beautiful dwelling or palace and that this palace, as I say, is God Himself. Could the sinner, perhaps, so as to engage in his evil deeds leave this palace? No, certainly not; rather, within the palace itself, that is within God Himself, the evil deeds committed by us sinners take place. Oh, frightful thought, worthy of deep reflection, and very beneficial for those of us who know so little. Let us consider brothers and sisters the great mercy and compassion of God, and be extremely thankful to Him. The greatest evil of the world, is that God,our creator, suffers so many evil things from His creatures within His very self" INTERIOR CASTLE point 3
