“Only meeting Jesus – the Incarnate Word – allows you to understand happiness…” St. John Paul II

DEAR CONFRERES, SISTERS AND THE ENTIRE VINCENTIAN FAMILY

On behalf of the Vice-Province of SS. Cyril and Methodius,

on the occasion of Christmas and the New Year, I wish you the full- ness of true happiness and the generosity of God’s blessing.

In these terrible days of war, pain, crying and suffering of our land

– may an angel gently touch you with a wing and warm your heart with Christmas warmth.

Let the following reign in your hearts and homes:

The Spirit of Christmas – Peace, The Heart of Christmas – Love, The Joy of Christmas – Hope.

And may the newborn Jesus fill you with the peace of the Bethlehem night and the joy of ordinary shepherds.

I wish you constant being in God’s presence and fulfillment of His Holy will in every minute of your life.

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

Fr. Leonid Kuklyshyn CM, Visitor of the Vice-Province of SS. Cyril and Methodius
