My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
In today’s Gospel, the angel said to the shepherds: “Do not be afraid, for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David, a Savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord.”
Needless to say, it is the fundamental and cardinal reason for celebrating Christmas – the Mystery of the Incarnation. God became a human: God’s Son was incarnated in the womb of Virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit. God is still Almighty God and now fully human. God with divinity and humanity can’t be separated because the Son of God became God-Man.
From now on, all human beings have great hope and confidence that they are no longer walking in darkness. They will see a great light, and they will rejoice because a child is born to them, a son is given to them. All nations and people will name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.
My friends, I would like to take this holy moment again to wish you all the best. May this Good News, this great joy always remain in you and your family.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, FELIZ NAVIDAD, MALIGAYANG PASKO, CHÚC MỪNG GIÁNG SINH.
Best wishes,
Fr, Thuong Hoai Nguyen. Pastor
