POOR SERVANTS OF THE MOTHER OF GOD

Thought for the Day

Our children’s party went off well. I wanted so much to have gathered up some stray children who live outside the walls, in some ruined houses. I fear the parents are bad, and teach them nothing. We could not manage it today, but hope to do it in our long holidays of three whole days.

Letters, Christmas 1894

We pray for families during this season of hope, and for children everywhere, remembering that Jesus loved them, hugged them, allowed them to come close to him and let them enjoy their childhood.
