December 9: Save Your Blood for the Christmas Blood Drive and Brunch. 

See you Sunday.

Revelation 11:  A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth.

1 Corinthians 15:  Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Luke 1:  When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

Love is the value that trumps all others — truth, equality, even justice. “At the evening of life,” John of the Cross writes, “we shall be judged on our love.”  And the reason is obvious.

The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
