Greetings, Everyone:

As Christmas draws near, we find ourselves in a world full of change. The past year has brought its share of uncertainties, challenges, and shifting landscapes. Around us, circumstances vary; situations evolve, sometimes at a dizzying pace. Yet, in the midst of all these variables, there is a constant—Jesus Christ, whose presence is unchanging, steady, and faithful.

At Christmas, we celebrate more than just a season or a holiday; we celebrate the arrival of hope in the form of Jesus. Born in a humble stable, He entered a world that, like ours, was full of troubles and uncertainties. His arrival was the promise of God’s unwavering love and His steadfast presence in our lives. Jesus came as a light that shines through the darkest moments, illuminating the path when everything else seems uncertain.

In a time when we are often unsure of what tomorrow will bring, it is comforting to know that Jesus remains the same, yesterday, today, and forever. He is the anchor for our souls, the unshakable rock on which we can build our lives. No matter what we face—be it personal struggles, societal upheavals, or global crises—He is with us, offering peace, guidance, and hope.

This Christmas, let us be reminded that while the world changes, our Savior does not. His love, mercy, and grace are constants that we can depend on, regardless of the storms we may encounter. As we gather with loved ones or reflect quietly on the season, let’s fix our hearts on the One who remains true.

May the peace and joy of Christ fill your heart and home this Christmas. May you find comfort in knowing that, amidst all the variables life may bring, Jesus is the everlasting constant. His love is the gift that truly endures. Merry Christmas, and may the light of Christ continue to be your guide today and always.

In a world full of change, may we hold fast to this truth:
Jesus is with us, and He is faithful.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2025!

God bless,

-- Fr. Augustine Joseph
