WELCOME TO JCSA
Dear Friends,
As we are about to celebrate Christmas this year, we are hemmed in from all sides by all sorts of anxieties and fears. The media bombards us 24X7, with the news and images of conflicts, war, natural calamities, communal hatred and economic uncertainties and above all the anti-corruption movement. People feel helpless and fearful. It is into this situation the angel comes with the Christmas message, “Do not be afraid! I am here to give you the good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today a Saviour has been born to you in David’s town; he is Christ the Lord!�?
Christmas comes to us with the message of Peace and Goodwill toward all people. Globalization has shrunk the world into a global village; Heeding to the Christmas message will make our life an enjoyable one. We need to learn to ‘live together as brothers and sisters otherwise we are going to perish as fools.�?Therefore our mission to day is to be:
A fire (of God’s Love) that kindles other fires
A bridge between men/women with God and with each other
A builder of human communities of solidarity, justice and reconciliation
Wishing you joy, peace and love and God’s blessings during Christmas and in the New Year!
