„Actions speak louder than words” by St. Anthony von Padua
2023 is drawing to a close. Looking back, we can say that this was a year which confronted the World with many challenges; each of which we all tried to master as well as possible. Whilst the Corona pandemic is more or less behind us, unfortunately the terrible war in Eastern Europe continues, Hamas attacked and started a war with Israel and during this time of great geopolitical turbulence, the rest of the World struggles with economic fears and inflation.
We pray for the victims of these struggles all over the World and hope, with all our might, for peace and tolerance and that people ultimately realize the right way forward is not against but with one another. Over Christmas we enjoy spending quality time with family and friends. The entire Christmas season is filled with so much love and a feeling of comfort which needs to be spread around the World and ideally to touch each individual.
Around this time it is customary and important for us to extend our warmest pre-Christmas Advent greetings. May all your wishes come true this Christmas! In keeping with our past tradition, we prefer to promote worthy social causes rather than exchanging Christmas gifts.
