Dear members, friends, and partners:
On the first page of the first volume of our bestselling booklet, Peacemaking Day by Day, the quote for January 1st, from the Desert Fathers and Mothers, reads:
“Abba Poeman said about Abba Pior that every single day he made a fresh beginning.”
We hope that this New Year’s Day may be a fresh beginning for you, for all of us, for the entire world. In thanksgiving and in hope, we wish you and yours, a very Happy New Year!
In peace,
Sr. Patricia Chappell, SNDdeN, Executive Director
and all of the national staff of Pax Christi USA
For us today is both sad and joyful – sad because so many are too weak or self-absorbed to be friends – and joyful because some stay by us, no matter what ! In God’s Merciful Way !
