As the hours pass by the last minute preparations are made in our Convent home.
- Sister Mary Ann is getting the table trimmed for our Christmas dinner.
- How many are coming tomorrow?
- These napkins are coming.
- I like the fanned look.
- An elegant table awaits the guests.
Sister Kathleen is busy in our chapel.
- The tree is trimmed and now Sister Kathleen is on the ladder.
- Blue and white sheer material and lights!
- It looks like Sister is going behind the tree to the tabernacle.
- The cross to the tabernacle…
- The crib, the cross and the Ciborium!
St. Francis loved these three symbols of God’s tremendous love for us.
- What is Sister Kathleen doing now?
- The back wall of our chapel!
- Amazing!
As the evening hours close in on us we gather to bless our Christmas tree and our Nativity scene.
- Behold, this is our God. We have waited for Him
- The Gospel according to St. Luke…
- So the shepherds went with haste…
- …and found Mary and Joseph and the Babe lying in the manger.
