Merry Christmas, a Holy Christmas, to everyone who receives this message!

Christmas is the most beautiful story ever told. It is the fulfillment of thousands of years of prophecies and promises of God to His beloved children; the beginning of the new and eternal covenant.

It is a story marked by flight and deliverance, by a State that orders the mass execution of innocents, by an angel who commands disobedience to unjust laws and the courage to flee without looking back.

And above all, it is the story of the King of Kings — the Son of the God who created the Universe — who chose to be born in a simple manger, in a filthy stable, to redeem the world.
