Sacred
Space Christmas Greetings 2004
Nga mihi aroha i runga i te ahuatanga o te ra i whanau ai a Hehu
Karaiti
Loving greetings to you all at this time when we celebrate the
birth of Jesus. Your sisters in Aotearoa New Zealand greet you
all!
As we prepare to celebrate this blessed Feast and enjoy this grace-filled
season (and our holiday season!) we think of you all and pray that
you
and your community be blessed wherever you may be. Please do keep
us all in prayer too as we move along in the process of our four
Congregations
becoming one new Congregation, hopefully
in June 2005.

Christmas - a time for reconciling and embracing difference, replacing
fear with hope, suspicion with trust, violence with peace.
May this Christmas bring you renewed hope and joy and may your
new year be
filled with blessings.
Sisters of Mercy Brisbane Congregation /Australia
Love never gives up and its faith hope and patience never fail.
There are inspired messages but they are temporary. There is knowledge
but it will pass. For our gifts of knowledge and inspired messages
are only partial; but when what is perfect comes, then what is
partial will disappear.
1 Cor.13:8-10
May we each hold firmly to the love
which never gives up waiting for that which our faith assures us
will come.
Christmas greetings with love to all in the Mercy family,
Sisters
of Mercy West Perth/Western Australia
Great Joy!
May we, Mercy shepherds,
From the highways, byways ...
Come home to Bethlehem,
And taste new truth,
And hear new song,
And live new gift:
New depths of intimacy with our God,
Who shares our very flesh,
This Christmas every day!
Marcella Blake rsm Perth Congregation/Western Australia
Warm Christmas greetings from the Sisters of Mercy on Guam! We
