This year, as we join with loved ones to celebrate Christmas, I invite you to watch this Spiritual Reflection with Sister Thérèse DelGenio, SNDdeN. This Christmas, we reflect on the joy of affirming the goodness around us, inspired by Brad, a spirited first-grader whose role in a Nativity play was to clap, celebrating each moment of the story and signaling others to do the same. Like Brad, we are called to celebrate the gift of Jesus in our lives and to affirm others daily through gratitude, encouragement and love. This season, we celebrate you and the many ways you make God's goodness known.
