Christmas, the holiday of love, reminds us that we are not made to live alone, but quite the opposite, to be in a constant relationship with God, who comes close to us by the birth of his Son in our midst; a Son who became our brother, a master, and the Messiah, so long awaited by all humanity. In communion with Him, we are constantly brought to create ever closer ties with the members of our families and those who surround us, in particular the poorest, the destitute, the sick, the suffering, the people who are alone.

It was with much sorrow that we learned of the passing of Sister Jeanne Bizet, who died at the age of 97. She was the founder of the Myriam Beth’lehem Family. On behalf of our great family that is the Diocese of Bathurst and on my own behalf, I would like to express my sincere condolences to all the members of the Myriam Family, especially to the members who are with us at Maison Myriam-de-la-Paix in Sheila. May the Lord fill you with peace in these difficult times.
