Christmas is a very special feast for us, who have chosen to follow a path guided by Blessed Nicolas Barré. He advises us never to stray too far from the crib of Jesus... With all my heart, I wish you a very happy Christmas! May joy and celebration resound wherever you live!
But perhaps you are wondering: How can we rejoice in the midst of all the violence that is tearing apart countries who are at war or who are victims of terrorist attacks: when so many hearts and borders are closed to migrants: when there are so many outcasts in our world where money reigns supreme?
Yes, our heartfelt wish is that these days of Christmas will truly be days of celebration and deep happiness for each and every one of you!
I bring you news of great joy: to you is born this day a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord (Lk 2:10).
May our homes reflect the great happiness that is within us! And above all, what I hope and wish for you is that you will dare to take this opportunity to tell those who are close to you, your neighbours and your friends, whether Christian or not, why you are so happy...
