Greetings from the International Commission, joined by all the EoC staff. Merry Christmas to each and every one!
Dearest friends and dear EoC friends in every corner of the earth!
Isaiah announced a child who would be called "God the Strong". Yet that strong God was born vulnerable, in poverty. As if to tell us that wherever there is poverty, wherever there is vulnerability, He is present, even if we do not recognize Him. We hope that we will be able to find him every day, to bring him our gifts, our communion of goods, like the men who arrived from the East, or even to arrive empty-handed with work clothes, like the shepherds, but present because they were able to follow a star... In order to be close to him, we too, wherever he is in need.
A heartfelt wish to you all!
With great affection in a worldwide embrace from the International EoC Commission
Anouk, Isaías, Maria Helena, German, Sole, Koen, Gloria, Maja e John.
