ARCHBISHOP’S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE:
“May the birth of Jesus which we celebrate this Christmas bring you joy. Not because our cares and worries disappear at Christmas, they don’t. But because Christmas assures of the love that God has for each of us. Despite our failings, despite our problems, we are precious to God. As it says in the gospel of John: God so loved the world that he sent his only son. This Christmas pause, reflect on those words, and be overwhelmed with joy - because each of us is loved by God and so precious in his eye.”
