CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 2008 BY FR. OTTAVIANO D'EGIDIO, CP

SUPERIOR GENERAL OF THE PASSIONISTS

My dear Passionist Brothers,
and Brothers and Sisters of the Passionist Family

« Do not be afraid. Behold, I proclaim a great joy for you and for all Peoples: today, in the city of David, is born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This will be the sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger ». (Lk 2,10-12). The glory of God descends over the countryside around Bethlehem and illuminates the night. The shepherds who are watching over their flocks are frightened at such an unusual event, but a reassuring voice is heard:

« Do not be afraid. Behold, I proclaim a great joy for you…».
Will we be able to see how the darkness of our time is being illuminated, will we be able to hear that reassuring voice?
