Dear brothers and sisters in the Lord:
1. THE MONTH OF DECEMBER: We thank the Lord for preserving our lives to see the beginning of the last month of the year 2022 and for walking with us through the most difficult times that we have experienced in the course of the year. The month of December is a month of hope, expectation, joy and celebration. During the month we have celebrations such as the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the birth our Lord at Christmas and the Feast of Holy Family of Nazareth. The month is one of introspection, stock-taking, self-evaluation and thanksgiving to God.
