In the second half of 2025, the Jardim das Pastorinhas Community in São Paulo had the opportunity to receive guidance from psychologist Sister Edilamar da Glória Martins, a Passionist nun. There were five very beneficial sessions on the theme: "Aging with Wisdom".
We concluded our meetings by assembling a Community Christmas Tree. Each ornament placed on the tree represented a community commitment:
The balls brought with them the good fruit that each one can offer to the community.
The stars revealed the lights we will be to shine in the community.
The bells announced what testimony we intend to manifest.
Upon concluding this formative process, everyone expressed satisfaction with the mission undertaken. The tree was simply beautiful, joyfully illuminated, deeply marked by the testimonies of those who follow in the footsteps of Jesus the Good Shepherd.
May these commitments bring us a Christmas blessed by Him who is to come, but is already among us.
To you who are reading this article, Merry and Holy Christmas!
