I love how the Mystery of Christmas and the old year and begins the new––kind of how the same mystery divides time into BC and AD. The previous year with its dark moments goes out in the bright glow of hope and the new year already begins to shine. The Light, foretold by a star, that descended into the midst of human poverty, comes into the Bethlehem of hearts and minds in order to enrich them with his Divine radiance. I hope to live 2013 in the Light of of Life.

Here’s wishing everyone a bright and prosperous new year!
