Christmas Greeting

Wishing you all the miracle of hope, the sharing of the warmth and comfort of friendship, the love of family, and the blessing of peace now and throughout the new year.  MERRY CHRISTMAS

TAKE JOY, by Fra.Giovanni written 1513 AD

I SALUTE YOU
   There is nothing I can give you which you have not; but there is much that while I    cannot give, you can take.
   No Heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today.
TAKE HEAVEN
   No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present instant.
TAKE PEACE
   The gloom of the world is but a shadow.  Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy.
TAKE JOY
   And so at this Christmas time, I greet you with this prayer, that for you now and forever, the day breaks and the shadows flee away.
