Christmas Message 2025

In a world wounded by wars between people, natural disasters, climate change, the loss of
the connection between humanity and the divine… GOD is there; it is a revelation at
the heart of our history.

“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us…” John 1, 4

GOD is there; it is a revelation at

the heart of our history.

We can recognize HIM in:

* the fragile life of a newborn,

* the smallest, simplest, and humblest details of all life.

In creation,

* with the tenderness of fraternal encounters,

* with smiles, embraces, light, music, songs,

* with gestures of sharing, vows,

* with the tears of those who suffer,

* among those who live alone and in precarious environments,

* among the poor and the vulnerable,

HE IS HERE !

From these living nativity scenes spring the spirit of family, the joy that unites us in universal Sisterhood, gestures of solidarity, and the beauty of celebrations that radiate life.

“…we have seen his Glory, the Glory that he, the only Son, received from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1, 14)

The General Council wishes you and your families a Merry Christmas and a New Year full of blessings.
