December Newsletter: We Are the Light, We Are the Hope
For this month, Sister Diana reflects on the dark days of December, when “the light in our northern hemisphere is very much diminished,” noting that it reflects a certain darkness surrounding us in our city, nation, and our world.
She points out that this makes it so important for each of us to become a point of Light and Hope.
Because we are all connected, we can spread that light and hope, and become a force for good. When we do something purposeful for others, and recognize the things in our own lives for which we are grateful, “We can make a difference. We can make someone else’s world better even in a small way.”
She also shares tips for bringing that sense of connection, light and hope into the lives of our children.
