Gumbo
~ The Grail Connection ~ January 2017
Christmas Greetings from the International Grail
In a forest, a single branch which cracks, makes more noise
than all the trees which grow silently. (French proverb)
In the coming year, let us especially support those who are quietly
working for a more peaceful and harmonious world.
We wish you and your families a blessed Christmas and a peaceful year 2017!
Didine, Karen, Patricia and Robin

With love and prayers
from The Kisekibaha Grail, Tanzania
Dear Grail women, We thank you all for your generous, warm and hopeful Christmas messages! May we, this coming Christmas, silence and allow the
dimension of the invisible to become ever more present in the simplicity of Life. May we walk together and hand in hand with all that surrounds
us in joy and in the trust of a shared path.
Wishing you a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year! The Grail in Portugal:

In Sympathy with our Grail Sister Thembi Ngobesi in South Africa We wish to express our deepest condolences with Ma Thembi Ngobesi and mourn with her for the death of her beloved son. We wish her God’s strength in her time of bereavement and want her to know that we, the South African Grail, are praying for, and thinking of, her. May she find comfort in the fact that he has entered the real of God, our savior and friend. We ask that as Grail, we uphold Ma Thembi and her family through our prayers.
