".. Dear Friends, May God grant us His Peace and Joy .."
Dear Friends,

 Greeting of Peace and Joy.

 

We have just begun with eagerness and enthusiasm the Advent Season in Preparation for the meaningful celebration of the historical birth of Jesus Christ, on 25th of this month : The mystery of God coming down to seek and dwell with men so that He could raise man to the level of God. “The word of God became flesh and dwelt amongst us”. This simple but singular and striking message of John the Evangelist sums up the eternal mystery of God’s unconditional love and inexplicable action of God in human history. In the first place the celebration of Christmas invites us for a personal experience of Jesus’ birth in our life.

This mystery of incarnation unravels the depth of God’s unconditional love expressed in creating us humans in His own Image and Likeness, and even after man’s turning away from God’s love, God remains faithful to His promise and fulfillment of His saving plan to re-instate human beings in relationship with one another and God. Therefore the feast of the Nativity of Jesus is the celebration of LOVE, LIFE and LIGHT. This incarnation is the mystery of love resulting in intimate relationship : which involves three essential movements of God :

  1. Incarnation is : Intervention of God in human history and highlights God’s constant concern, care and commitment.
  2. Incarnation invites for an involvement with human condition.
  3. Incarnation leads to identification with our humanity, resulting in intimacy, which is the highest degree in relationship.
