There's a thread in this issue of Canorità that has been totally unintentional... I wondered... but of course, it is the season of Joy and of Peace!  It is 'that' time of the year when one desperately seeks to put things in order so that we can have some time-out, some space, some moments to treasure with our families and loved ones.  It's a time to give and to receive and a time to clear old cobwebs.  Why???

Prepare the 'Way of the Lord' the Precursor proclaimed... Yes, the Prince of Peace is coming and somehow, all peoples, not merely Christians but all are powerfully thrust into making space for Peace.  Peace which has been promised to "all peoples of goodwill" by the coming Immanuel - God with us.

The thread that runs through this Canorità is obviously Peace.  Articles in this issue overflows with this thread.  Peace sought by the little ones, the sick, and their caregivers, the educators, even of those who have serenely left us for eternal peace.  All alike seeking Peace from within, a peace that will surely overflow to those around and towards building world peace.

So... May you be blessed with an abundance of the gifts of this wonderful season of Love, Joy and Peace.  May the Prince of Peace come among you and keep you in the knowledge and love of Immanuel.

Yours in Christ
