Sister Teresa, writing from the Convent of Mount Carmel, wishes her father a happy Christmas. She sends a pair of scapulars for McMaster, a pair for Jennie, and an Agnus Dei for Alphonsus McMaster, all of which she made herself. The silk is a piece of her clothing dress. She hopes everyone will be blessed by many spiritual presents from the Child Jesus. She has been reading discourses by St. Alphonsus on the mystery of the Incarnation. On Christmas eve the Carmelite community will chant Matins from 9 until 12, then Midnight Mass and Communion will follow, after which the Thanksgiving lauds will be chanted. Each nun will sing a song she has composed before the crib of the Holy Child after which they will retire. At 6 o'clock they shall hear 2 more masses and then say the Hours. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
