Dear Pan y Amor Sponsor,
During this Christmas Season I want to share a beautiful electronic greeting card for Christmas that Sister Rosario Arnao, Director of the home for children in La Paz, Bolivia sent me shortly before Christmas. The photos of the children are all taken in a Christmas setting. The song that is sung is the familiar song called Feliz Navidad. The words of the Christmas message that accompany the photos of the children is from Sister Rosario Arnao, a Sister of the Love of God, a Religious Order from Spain. Sister Rosario has administered this home for children, where roughly 30 babies and toddlers that are orphans live, along with many girls from families that are unable to provide their daughters with food, clothing or other basic necessities. Here are the words of Sister Rosario’s Christmas card message that I have translated from Spanish into English. To view the electronic Christmas card in its entirety, visit our website and click “Mission News”:
The Home called Hogar Carlos de Villegas wishes you:
Merry Christmas!
Christmas is a time to share.
May we never lack a dream for which to work;
A project to do.
Christmas is a time:
To renew joy,
For hopes to be reborn.
May this little world of ours
Become ever more human.
With affection and gratitude,
Hogar Carlos de Villegas La Paz, Bolivia – 2011
On behalf of the children of Hogar Carlos de Villegas, and Sister Rosario and the other caregivers there in La Paz, Bolivia whom I look forward to seeing there later this month, I extend my thanks to you, the sponsors of children through Pan y Amor, for your support of these little ones. May God bless and reward you for sharing your support with these children and so many others through Pan y Amor.
Gratefully in Our Lord,
Monsignor Francis X. Blood
Director, Pan y Amor
