“May the joy of Christmas, which sings of the birth of the Savior, fill in all trust in the power of truth and o patient perseverance in doing good. For each of us the divine message of Bethlehem resounds: “Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy, to you
is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” (Lk 2:10-11). Today there shines forth, Urbi et Orbi, upon the city of Rome and upon the whole world, the face of God: Jesus reveals him to us as the Father who loves us. All you who are seeking the meaning of life, all you whose hearts are burning with the hope of salvation, freedom and peace, come to meet the Child born of Mary: He is God, our Savior, the only one worthy of this name, the one Lord. He is born for us, come, let us adore him!”
John Paul II, Vatican 1998
Dear Members and Friends of the John Paul II Foundation
Christmas is a good time to give glory to God, because He is good, faithful and merciful.
We hope that in Jesus we will recognize God who comes to every human being.
So, we could discover that God is close to us, were able to love Him and to give Him glory.
May the Merciful God sustain us and fill us with hope
