It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ...

It's hard to believe that Christmas Eve is just a couple of days away.  Christmas trees are appearing all over the monastery.  We will start putting the lights on the trees in the chapel this afternoon/evening.  Tomorrow and Friday the rest of the chapel decorations will be done.  I love this time of the year.  It is such a time of community.  Each person is involved in their little part of making the celebration of Christmas special.  Of course, it is our daily prayer and Eucharist that is preparing our hearts to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child.  Know that we pray for all of you in our daily prayer.
