Dear sisters and brothers,

today will be heralded the joyful and life-renewing Tiding/news of Lord’s Holy Nativity/Christmas.

I wish you that the Tiding of the Holy Nativity/Christmas becomes the greatest tiding/news of our lives, with which God reconciled with the crown of his creation, man. Let each of us be the announcers of good tiding with our lives and deeds. May our hearts become the safe manger where the child Jesus would be pleased to be born. Let us celebrate the Lord's Holy Nativity with the faith and purity of a child and befittingly pass on the greatest tiding of all the tidings to one another:

Christ is Born and Revealed, Blessed is the Revelation of Christ
Unto you and Unto Us Great Tidings.

Happy New Year and Feast of the Holy Nativity/Merry Christmas!

With Love and Blessings:
