The Christmas season is over. Some homes still have their outside decorative lights on to help us with these long dark winter evenings. Even the Churches have their Nativity sets stored for another year. Yet the Incarnation of Christ belongs more in our ordinary everyday lives than on just one day in December. It takes a lifetime to unwrap the gift of Christ himself which he gives to us.
Sr. Eileen McQuaid delivered the homily at Marguerite Bourgeoys parish church in Tantallon, NS on Tuesday January 8th. She spoke of Marguerite as an immigrant and newcomer to Canada and Mother of the Colony.
Leader: St. Marguerite Bourgeoys, was a woman of great love, faith, and courage. She trusted in God with all of her heart. As we gather in great joy to celebrate her Feast Day, let us draw inspiration from the life and example of our foundress.
