Everywhere you look you’ll see the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. While it’s easy to get caught up in the holiday cheer — and by all means, go ahead, it’s a wonderful occasion and you’ve earned the break — the holidays are also an ideal time for reflection. Let us think about the passing year as we move into 2016 and how we can help create a more just and peaceful world.
Time after time we have seen that when we come together as a community, we can inspire courage, strength and healing, especially in the worst of times. Let’s start off the new year with a call of solidarity and support for all of those in our global community who are fighting for peace among nations and for people of all cultural, economic and faith backgrounds. Might we abandon fear and move forward with healing and love through human actions and prayer. For ways to reach out and help, visit the Office of Dominican Ministries.
At Albertus Magnus, we wish you a safe, happy and healthy holiday season to you and yours. May the spirit of love and family fill you with cheer, as you strive for greatness and work toward that dream career.
