“Letters Under the Tree” | 16

From Greccio, the town where St. Francis gave life to the first living nativity scene, today, Monia Angelucci writes to us

Dear World,
I am at a Christmas concert. The music of the orchestra fills the apse and our hearts.

They are notes of hope, joy and simplicity.

The shopping for lunch is done, the gifts ready in their colorful packages. The music continues… it’s Christmas, this is it!

Dear world, I ask for mercy for the places where this music is not there, but only noise of war and division.

Monia Angelucci, English teacher – Greccio (Rieti)
