PRESIDENT’S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

It gives me great pleasure to send all the beloved Brothers around the World my first Christmas message.

Christmas is a wonderful time of year in our Christian Faith. It centres around New life, Families, Love and Hope for the future.

The fact that our Saviour was born in a barn shows that not all goes to plan. But Mary and Joseph made the best of their situation and without complaining simply put their faith in God our Father.

It hurts me very much to see the attacks worldwide on the feast of Christmas. It would appear many people around the world do everything in their power to deny us this lovely feast and to deny the existence of Christ. They do everything in their power to take Christ out of Christmas.

I am thankful and greatful to those many Orders who have strong campaigns to “ Put Christ back into Christmas”

Finally I wish you all and your Families the best of God’s Blessings for the Christmas season and I hope you all spend Christmas in the company of your Love Ones in an atmosphere of Love, Peace and Harmony.

God Bless You All

Br Colin Walsh …..President IACK
