Merry Christmas from Loretto!

Posted on December 22, 2025, by Loretto Community

Main image is an ink and watercolor drawing of the Holy Family surrounded by a shepherd, sheep, a donkey, women of different ages and several children. The image is outlined with a red border. Text at the top reads "May God's light shine upon you this Christmas season and always." A quote from Luke 1:78 "By the tender mercy of our Go, the dawn from on high will break upon us" is written in English, Spanish and Urdu.

From the beginning of Advent to this joyful week of preparation for the second coming of God’s reign of peace, we hear a call to not only pray for peace but to build as we can the Kingdom of our God right where we are.

The Loretto traditions of years gone by are still remembered as times that take us, heart and soul, to the ways we welcome the light of Christ then and now.

You will read this week of the beautiful star that welcomes all to the Loretto Motherhouse. You can join the Community by continuing to pray nightly the scriptural “O” Antiphons, which began Dec. 17 and run to Dec. 23. And please join us as the Loretto Motherhouse Community and Loretto Sisters and Co-members all over the world sing a Midnight Mass, reminding us all that God’s light shall “break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
