\"Christmas<\/p>\n

\u2018It seems to me that God is offering us this coming year as a jubilee year<\/strong>, which does not only mean joy but means a year where we start again, we forgive all that others owe us. We want to start from scratch, with a pact of mercy that is concrete, true, deep.<\/p>\n

‘It is a year where<\/strong> we offer forgiveness and ask forgiveness<\/strong>. And we declare officially that we will do all we can to make our relationships better. We are sustained in this by the commitment to live love for our brothers and sisters <\/strong>with renewed intensity.<\/p>\n

‘With a mercy that hopes all, covers all, gives trust, believes, we will experience a complete amnesty in our hearts, a universal mutual forgiveness.<\/p>\n

‘Merry Christmas to everyone! Living as children of God<\/strong> (John 1:12), just as Jesus gives us the power to be.\u2019<\/p>\n
