Dear Friends in Child Jesus,

First of all, I wish you all with all my heart and with all my prayers, Merry Christmas, and a happy, healthy life. Second, I thank sincerely all the members of my Tri-Parishes for your generous support because of which our three parishes and a School are successfully going on. Also, a special thanks to all the Council members, Office assistant, Deacon, Ushers, Lectors, Ladies of all three PCCW, Musicians, Altar servers, Money counters, Teachers, and other Volunteers who are helping in many ways for administration of our Tri-Parishes.

It is Christmas and the joyful hearts everywhere. Every family has spent a day or two to decorate the house with Christmas trees and jungle bells with the crib of Jesus. The light outside each house illuminates the joy to the onlookers.

Dear Brother and Sisters,

First of all, I thank sincerely all those who supported for the installation of my Rectory windows by purchasing raffle tickets and a double thanks to all the council members of St. Lawrence, Immaculate Conception and St. Boniface for your planning, coordinating and executing this project. Also, thank you for those who donated for the giving trees! May God reward you for your generous heart!

The sign that God revealed to us on this last Sunday of Advent is highly significant. God’s choice of the Messiah was from the house of David. However, Mary’s child belongs to all nations. So, we all form part of the nations. This is through God’s love, and his invitation to share in the Christ’s heritage. Hence, Christ is coming for the sake of all of us.

Dear brothers and sisters,

Good morning to you all. This third Sunday of Advent, is often called 'rejoice’ Sunday. This joyful spirit is marked by rose color candle of our Advent wreath. The liturgy of the word God is about the coming of Messiah and it is a hymn of joy. Today’s readings give the message of joy.

In the First Reading of today, Prophet Isaiah portrays the joyful advent of the Lord as a healing, transforming event. In particular we have the images of physical healing that God will come to bring – once more the weak hands and feeble knees will be made strong, the blind will see again, the deaf will hear again, the lame will walk again and the dumb will speak again. There will be no more sorrows because our God is coming to take all that away. Through all these liberating actions, the glory of the Lord is being revealed for all to see.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Prayerful greetings to you all! On this second Sunday of Advent, we could hear three voices from three different persons. These voices bring messages of hope for us this Sunday.

The first voice is from Isaiah, given in the first reading. He lived when Israel had some underwhelming kings. Isaiah is a prophet, who hopes that one day a new shoot of life will sprout from the stump of Israel’s kingdom. He hopes for a king like David, who will rely not on political advisors but on God alone, a king who will bring justice and peace, especially to those who are poor and afflicted. Isaiah, our first voice is a voice of hope that a future king will come and create a new world of peace and joy.
