A Message from Father Nathan

My dearest people closest to my heart!

God bless you and your generous heart.

For Today in the City of David, a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.

Luke 2:11

Thanks to St. Francis, we can perceive that at Christmas God truly became the “Emmanuel” the God with us from whom no barrier not any distance can separate us.

Thus, in the Child, God became close to each one of us, so close that we are able to speak intimately to Him and engage in a trusting relationship of deep affection with Him, just as with do with a newborn baby. In that Child, in fact, God’s Love is manifest . 

God comes without weapons, without force, because He does not want to conquer, so to speak from the outside, but rather wants to be freely received by the human being.

God makes Himself a defenseless Child to overcome pride, violence, and the human desire to possess. In Jesus, God took on this poor, disarming condition to win us with love and lead us to our true identity.

We must not forget that the most important title of Jesus Christ is, precisely, that of “Son”.  Son of God, the divine dignity is indicated with a term that extends the reference to the humble condition of the manger in Bethlehem, although It corresponds uniquely to His divinity, which is the divinity of the “Son”.

Christmas is a time to reflect on the significance of Jesus birth, emphasizing themes of love, peace, and goodwill toward all, especially in our lives.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas! May the sparkle and joy of this season fill your heart and home. Wishing you all the blessings and joys of Christmas and a bright year ahead. May you be blessed with hope, peace, joy and love

With lots of love and blessings.

Ever wanting to be faithful to your service,
