PROMISES May your wishes be transformed into promises! Wishes are soon lost and gone forever. Promises are commitments that bear fruit. To your loved ones promise the sunshine of your goodness. Is there any better daily bread? To those dear to you promise tenderness in your appreciation a smile as a sign of human complicity respect granted in advance, a hand extended in offering help, an obstinent battle against suffering solidarity as pledge to just sharing. To your Church promise faithfulness and fellowship as you sing: “God is in our midst” and, proclaim its love to the world. To your God promise nothing! He knows your desires. Tell him, simply, with joy and wonder: “Thank you for your love! How can I share it?” Chemin de Noël (Albert Hari, Charles Singer)
