May this Christmas night lighten the darkness of our hearts to let the Love of a little child shine forth.
Yes, God became man! This night there will only be Love. A deep fertile and incarnate Love
Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas message 2023
At the heart of a world living in extreme violence, (here in Israel, so many innocent people, including women and children, have been massacred every day since October 7) a Light shines ⭐
God himself took our human condition, born at the bottom of a Crib. He is this Light 🕯which shines in the darkness and gives hope to so many men and women ☀️
Let us be this Light which springs forth in the darkness which continually tells us:
“Life is the most beautiful gift we have received”
Christmas tells us about birth. Jesus wants to be reborn in each of us through our joy, our smile and everything we can bring to others.
“Never let someone come to you and leave without them being happier” (Mother Teresa)
This night, under the beautiful blue starry sky of Palestine, I will have a thought for all of you during the night's Mass which will be celebrated in the greatest destitution given the context!
May the Christmas Light 🕯 stay lit in your hearts to light up the new year.
Very happy Christmas to each of you.
With my affection and my prayer.
Brother François
