"One Word" for 2015
Happy New Year! I wish you and your families all the best in 2015!
Wow, 2015. We were just ushering in 2014. Where did this year go? I used to laugh as a child when all of the adults around me (some of whom are no longer here with us) would wipe a tear on New Years Eve. My cousins, friends and I would be jumping and celebrating and so excited that we just couldn't understand why they were melancholy. I certainly understand it now. The years have gone by quickly. I am no longer that kid jumping up and down, but a middle aged woman (geez, when did that happen?!) who is thinking that there are probably more years behind me than there are in front. Sobering, for sure.
Last year, I chose "Indomitable." You can read the post here. What a challenge that word was! It means "that cannot be subdued, or overcome, as persons, will or courage, living and trusting without fear." A lot is packed into that word, isn't it? And this past year was certainly one in which we needed to trust, have courage and not live in fear. We are called to "be not afraid," but were never told it would be easy.
So, what to choose for this year? After some prayer and thought, I have chosen Intentionality. It means the fact of being deliberate or purposive; the ability to act with purpose. Intentionality is behaving with a goal in mind and taking deliberate actions to achieve those goals. It is being thoughtful in action or decision. As I grow older, I want to not take for granted the special, little moments and gifts that are in the everyday. I will live with purpose to enjoy and cherish and make the most of each moment.
"...pray without ceasing."- Thessalonians 5:17
"Joy is a great remedy. I recommend it to you and I do so very enthusiastically....! Be joyful! I say it again. I say it again: be joyful! When we are joyful, we are less aware of evil and are cured more quickly. Cast all your cares on God. He is the best of Fathers and will look after you as well as possible." - Bl. Guiseppina Nicoli

A Blessed Christmas!!!!
I wish all of you a blessed Christmas! Let us never forget the true meaning of Christmas-- the most precious Gift ever given, the Miracle of the Incarnation, the Word becoming Flesh and laid in a manger in Bethlehem. Let us always sing with the angels "Gloria in Excelsis Deo!"
I shared this poem last year and so many enjoyed reading it that I thought I would share it again.
"My Week in Review" will return next week. :-)

I shared this poem last year and so many enjoyed reading it that I thought I would share it again.
"Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the town,
St. Joseph was searching, walking up roads and down;
Our Lady was waiting, so meek and so mild,
While Joseph was seeking a place for the Child;
The children were nestled, each snug in their beds,
The grown-ups wouldn't bother, there's no room they said;
When even the innkeeper send them away,
Joseph was wondering, where they would stay;
He thought of the caves in the side of the hills,
Let's go there said Mary, it's silent and still;
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,
Made pathways of light for their tired feet to go;
And there in a cave, in a cradle of hay,
Our Savior was born on that first Christmas Day!
The Father was watching in Heaven above,
He sent for His angels, His couriers of love,
More rapid than eagles God's bright angels came;
Rejoicing and eager as each heard his name;
Come Power, Come Cherubs, Come Virtues, Come Raphael,
Come Thrones and Dominions, come Michael and Gabriel;
Now fly to the Earth, where My poor people live,
Announce the glad tiding My Son comes to give;
The Shepherds were watching their flocks on this night,
And saw in the heavens an unearthly light;
The Angels assured them, they'd nothing to fear,
It's Christmas they said, the Savior is here!
They hastened to find Him, and stood at the door,
Till Mary invited them in to adore;
He was swaddled in bands from His head to His feet,
Never did the shepherds see a baby so sweet!
He spoke not a word, but the shepherds all knew,
He was telling them secrets and blessing them too;
Then softly they left Him, The Babe in the hay,
And rejoiced with great joy on that first Christmas Day;
Mary heard them exclaim as they walked up the hill,
Glory to God in the Highest, Peace to men of good will!"--Sr. St. Thomas, BND de N
