Greetings of Love, Joy and Peace! 

Born in a manger at Christmas,
as a gift from the father above,
an infant whose name was called Jesus,
brought mankind the gift of God's love.

--Helen Steiner Rice  

Yes, in the fullness of time, Jesus comes… once again, to Remind, to Refresh, to Restore…

Each one of us is called to draw back to the fullness of Yaweh’s gracious Love. As we celebrate this joy-filled season of grace, let us bring to mind the wonderful treasures that come with the gift of Jesus to us. Let us draw one another and all whose lives we touch into the double circle of the love that encompasses us in the Holy Family and the Holy Trinity…  

This issue of Canoritá proffers the Canossian highlights of this year, and with the support of all who read and enjoy Canoritá we hope to continue to bring you more interesting stories in the year to come.

May you, like the Child born so poor,

be led to the Wisdom that brings true and lasting Peace!

May the Child lead you to the Source of all Goodness,

May you be Blessed with a Happy and Holy Christmas and New Year.  

Yours in Christ,  
Editor
