CHRISTMAS 2010

The Light that enlightens the world
came into the world,
so that our darkened souls can become light.

The Life of the world came into the world,
so that our mortal bodies can put on eternal life.

The Creator of the world came into the world,
so that our actions can turn from destroying to creating.

The Son of God came into the world,
so that we can become children of God–
transforming our fallen world
in true freedom and perfect love.

with best regards this Christmas and New Year,

Alexandra and William

CHRISTMAS 2009

Three Kings went reverently in search of the King of Kings.
Three magi followed a star to find the divine Sun, the God of love.
Three men of the east opened their treasures, gathered in times past, and offered them in worship to Him who makes all things anew.

Their way led to a man who was king of his land, but slave to his own passions. Though clever as a fox, he had forsaken wisdom and piety. Rich in earthly treasure, he was himself possessed by the wealth and power he thought he owned.
The three enlightened ones were filled with joy on meeting the innocent Child, and made more wise after meeting the fallen one. They returned by another way to b ring their newly found light, joy and wisdom to serve their fellow man.
The other perished in his fear and rage, bringing darkness and destruction in his wake.
And all four are part of our history...part of our society...part of every human soul struggling toward sanctity and wholeness.

Let us rejoice in the seed of divine love planted in the earth two millennia ago, growing daily in the heart of every striving human being. Let us rejoice in that God has endowed us with a free will so profound that we may freely accept His love and freely love in return–glorifying Him, serving one another and edifying all creation. At the same time, let us tremble to think that we are also free to reject this love in exchange for perdition.
May Christ be born in our hearts this Christmas–receiving our treasures from the past and making all things anew!
