For many years, the Sisters of Divine Providence have marked the Advent season with white lights in our windows recalling the Gospel words: "The light shines in the darkness." The candles signify our promise of hospitality to all who come to our doors. This year, when the bleak pandemic seems to have changed everything, our candlelight has changed, too—from the quietness of white to the uplifting vibrancy of primary colors.
In this issue, we are reminded of a Providential and abiding Presence in these troubling times of COVID-19, violence and racism.
In this issue, we are challenged to leave our comfort zone and go to the peripheries—places where people are wounded, perhaps feeling that their lives have no meaning or value—to find abundant grace.
As we celebrate the Advent and Christmas seasons, may these words be your inspiration and your encouragement.
