“Jesus, the Immigrant” When Sr. Chela Gonzalez, O.P., started making Christmas cards in her 20s, she would sketch them on drawing paper. Now created on the computer, Mary and Jesus are faceless in most of her Christmas images. Sr. Chela explains, “We were created in the image of God”.
Our God emigrates from heaven to earth
finding a home in the womb of a woman.
This woman and her husband journey
to Bethlehem, and lo,
the child is born.
This child seeks a safe place today;
May the light of your heart guide him home.
Blessed Christmas to you and yours,
Dominican Sisters~Grand Rapids
