“Christmas is a time of joy and celebrations. Everything has to be in a limited way, keeping in mind the various situations arisen due to pandemics. The messages of Christmas are peace, love and kindness. Live in peace with one another, love everyone as your real brother and sister, help those who are in dire need. These are to be practiced not only on Christmas day, but also every day. They are to be followed and practiced all through the year and throughout life and only that will make one a follower of Jesus”, Fr. Philip added.
