Christmas Message
To everyone, Greetings of love, joy and peace in this holy season of Christmas!

Second Sunday of Advent
SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT “And all humanity shall see the salvation of God.” (Luke 3:6b) To see the saving action of God, to really rejoice and exalt, humanity must first be recreated in the image of the Creator, who is merciful and just.
