Belated New Year's Greetings

From a Letter of St. Paul of the Cross …

“I prayed for a happy feast for you from the gentle Jesus during the novena and on the Holy Night from the holy altar. I did the same this morning for a Blessed New Year, in which I want you to be reborn every day in the Divine Word-Made-Man to a new life, all holy, so that you be a true portrait of Jesus Christ. All this will happen if you are faithful and remain solitary within and rest your soul on the divine bosom of the Heavenly Father, where there is celebrated every moment that Divine Birth. In that way it will be always Christmas in the inner stable of your soul.”
