It’s Christmas! The Word became a human being and set love alight on earth. It’s Christmas! And we would never wish the sun to set on this day. Teach us, O Lord, how to preserve your presence among us. It’s Christmas! Let your love, set alight on earth, burn our hearts and let us love one another as you desire! Then you will be there among us. And every day, if we love one another, can be Christmas. Chiara Lubich (Taken from Christmas Joy, New City, London 1998, p.59) |

An invitation that echoes the Resurrection and opens the way to a new life based not on our own strength, but on the grace of God who conquers every fear. Even in difficulties and crises, the love of Christ is present and, if lived in communion with others, is capable of giving even greater courage and hope to begin again.
