Christmas Message

by Rev. Fr.George V. Vayaliparambil

Christmas is the occasion of reconciliation

Jesus by his incarnation abridges the infinite distance in between the sinful man and the Holy Father.

Christmas is the day for praise

On the Christmas day the angels of the Lord praised our Lord with Halleluiah.

Christmas is the season for giving gifts

The wise and the shepherds offered gift to the baby in the manger.

Christmas is the moment to express love

Joseph expressed his love to the baby and his mother in the manger as a protector

Christmas is the time for offering life

St Mary offered her life (The bread of life Incarnated son of God) to the world in Bethlehem.

Christmas is time to rejoice.

The birds, animals and nature rejoiced in the birth of Jesus Christ.

Beloved in Christ

Let us make this day as the moment for reconciliation with God and our fellow being. Let us praise the Lord Almighty with the Angels. Let us give our life to spread the Word of God, and let it be the precious gift to the Lord on this season. Let us express our love to the fellow being and be the protector of the needy in the world as we express our love to the Lord. Let us share our life to the world to give life as our Mother Mary did. Let us make this occasion to rejoice by looking around us with the nature.

May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through!
