\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u00abThe night of Christmas brings peace and silence to the universe!\u00bb<\/strong><\/span> exclaims Saint Ephrem the Syrian<\/strong>, continuing boldly : \u00ab This night belongs to the Gentle; let everyone abandon fury and severity. Today, the day of mercy has risen; let no one pursue vengeance against those who have offended them. The day of joy has come; let no one cause sadness or distress to others<\/em> \u00bb (Ephrem the Syrian, Hymns to the Nativity of Christ I).\n

\nLet us listen to these astonishing words of the<\/strong><\/span> \u00ab prophet of the Syrian desert \u00bb, and open our hearts wide to Christ Jesus incarnated for us. Let us rejoice, for the King and Master of the universe Himself has come to earth to offer us Salvation and eternal life and reveal the healing Love of Our Father! As for us, let us respond with gratitude to the immense love of this Creator Father, sanctify our souls by patiently enduring trials through fervent prayer.\n

\nOur beloved<\/strong><\/span>, Monsignor Mounir Khairallah, Father Thomas Mehanna (OLM), our dear Oblates, our dear Friends, not forgetting the members of our blood families and our faithful Internet followers, we wish you a Merry Christmas, with the Holy Spirit blowing inexhaustible joy, prosperity, strength, and courage upon your homes and families, with the abundant help of Jesus, God-child. May Our Father, Creator and friend of men, the Sole Master of history, show His mercy to the Lebanese people and those of the Middle East!\n

\nMay 2024 be, for each and everyone, the year of the globalization of Love!<\/strong><\/span>\n

\nAnd my Jesus, as a birthday gift, we decide to offer You our Heart as a dwelling, becoming the place of Your rest and Joy.\n

\nThe Day of Joy is Here!<\/strong><\/span>\n

Dans cette br\u00e8ve exclamation, Saint Ephrem le Syrien c\u00e9l\u00e8bre la nuit de No\u00ebl comme un moment de paix et de douceur universelle.
