Christmas greetings from the Visitor of the Vice Province of St. Cyrill and Methodius Fr. Leonid Kuklyshyn СM

«Jesus is the shining day» that appeared on the horizon of humankind.

The day of mercy, when God the Father revealed his great, tender care to humankind.

The day of light, that dispels darkness, anxiety and grief. The day of peace…

The day of joy, «great joy» for the small and humble, and for all people (Luke: 2,10).

Pope Francis

On the occasion of Christmas, I send you my warmest wishes. Let Jesus Christ, the eternal Word of the Father, be a shining day of mercy, love, light, peace and great joy to us. So that we could bring Him through our prayer, service and witness of life to all, to those who do not know Him, who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to those who experiences difficulties and crises. Let the bright Christmas star brighten all your thoughts, let it give a strength to the spirit in daily life, and let it awaken the hearts of everyone to the zealous desire to meet the Newborn Jesus Christ. I bow in prayer to the Child of God; I pray for a lot of grace of God for you. I also pray for all your relatives, friends and acquaintances, for those you work with and those you serve. May the Newborn Jesus, God, bless all your good intentions and reward you and all your relatives with His peace, love and joy.

With the gift of prayer near the manger of the Newborn Jesus
