The DOVES change the Infant of Prague to Violet Vestments for Advent
in the Adoration Chapel
in the Adoration Chapel
Our Advent Cookies Exchange was a tremendous blessing for us all.
Father Vaccaro gave us a talk on growing in the prayer life during this holy season.
Our violet tree was all aglow, and the cookies did not last long as every daughter exchanged the dozen they brought to share.
Our daughters worked during Father’s talk on Christmas cards for our 37 seminarians. We were able to make enough cards and hope they receive them before Christmas.
The story read to the daughters in teaching
about spiritual bouquet was on their Christmas Cards, entitled:
ForgetMeNot
A True Story Related on the Feast of the Nativity, 1925

A young lady, while making a retreat at a convent,
was permitted by the Sister Sacristan to arrange the flowers on the altar.
One day a friend sent a great quantity of lilies-of-the-valley.
Miss X arranged them and placed them on the tabernacle
and humbly offered these lovely flowers to the Sacred Heart.
The following day during her visit to the Blessed Sacrament,
after admiring God’s beautiful flowers,
she wished she had some others to present to Him
and wondered what kind He would like “today”,
when an interior voice distinctly said, “Forget-Me-Not”.
The next day when she made her visit, she said:
“Dear Jesus, what kind of flowers would you like today?”
Again the little interior voice replied,
“Your Prayers will be all kinds of flowers, and I will gather the fairest and sweetest.”
This Christmas, let us offer our Dear Infant Savior such a bouquet!
