Two cards showing our Priory on Boars Hill, Oxford: the house and chapel under snow with a friar keeping watch at the crib, and the garden in the low winter sun were inspired by Fr John Huge’s painting. Inside, each card carries words of St Edith Stein and a Christmas blessing from the community.

A message for the season
“When Christmas falls, and the Child takes our hearts, His light shines into our dark nights, casting the shadow of the Cross. He stretches out His tiny hands: ‘Come to me, all you who labour and are burdened.’”
St Edith Stein
Below the fold: “May the Infant Jesus bring warmth to your days, solace in your struggles, and His radiant light to every shadow. Wishing you and your loved ones a truly blessed, peaceful, and merry Christmas, and a grace-filled New Year.”
“I am the vine, you are the branches.” John 15:5
