Christmas Message from Providence College Alumni/ae Chaplain

"Christmas is always an embarrassment!
If Almighty God so loved the world
that He sent his only Son to save it,
and if His Son loved us so much
that He gave His life to prove it,
then where’s the evidence of it?

"In the pompous renditions of Handel and Bach?
In the chubby cherubs at the noisy malls?
In the carols we sing and hear sung?
In the gifts we give and get?
In the tinsel on the tree?"

Rev. John S. Peterson, O.P. (a member of the Providence College Class of '57 and chaplain of the National Alumni/ae Association) has a Christmas message for alumni/ae and others:
