Sacred
Space Christmas Greetings 2004
Come, let us gather 'round the manger, bearing the gift of ourselves, our
hopes and longings. May our hearts speak to the heart of the Child who joins
us in this beautiful, terrible world. Let us ask that the peace and love He
brings touch the hearts of every man, woman, and child. Let us ask for the
grace to be merciful, gentle peacemakers wherever we may be.
Sister of Mercy of the Americas
As we remember this Christmas 2004 the birth of the child for whom 'no room'
could be found, may we open our hearts to the invitation to 'make room for
the other' - for our God, for the other who is different, for the other we
meet within our hearts. May we share with one another our own gift of peace.
Blessings from Patricia Fox, Paula Smith, Gwen Garland and all at the
National Centre of the Institute of Sisters of Mercy of Australia.
Merry Christmas! Blessed Christmas to all my Sisters throughout the world.
My two years at Baggot Street with the privileged responsibility for
Heritage have opened my mind (and God willing, my heart) to the wideness of
God's mercy and the unity of the Mercy community. To those who I met in
Dublin, I am back safely in the Detroit and I am working in our own Heritage
offices. God bless us, everyone.
Maureen McGarrigle, rsm Detroit/Americas
May all of us Mercy Sisters continue to share and experience peace in our
lives and ministries. May this prayerful dedication bring peace to our
world, especially to the poorest and most vulnerable this season. We are a
small world after all!

From the Land of the Cedars, greetings to Sisters of Mercy throughout the
world!
Here's wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a New Year that is everything
you'd
like it to be!
To those who have already sent greetings, thank you for sharing your time
and love.
I would like to share the following prayer which was said in our household
every night
during Advent after the rosary (15 times).
Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born
of the most pure virgin Mary at Midnight in Bethlehem in the piercing cold.
In that
same hour vouchsafe O my God to hear our prayers and grant our petitions
amen.
Love and prayers from Sr. M. deLourdes Great Britain/Lebanon
The Earth Link community, in Australia, wish you peace and joy during this
season, when we gather to celebrate God's presence
- in every aspect of the emergence of the universe
- in the consciousness of each human person, and
- in the wisdom of Jesus in our midst.
