Christmas 2023

“Jesus is born for humanity seeking freedom and peace. A baby lying in a poor manger: this is God’s sign. Centuries and millennia pass, but the sign remains and speaks also to us, men and women of the third millennium. It is a sign of hope for the entire human family; a sign of peace for those who suffer from all kinds of conflicts; a sign of freedom for the poor and oppressed; a sign of mercy for those who are locked in the vicious circle of sin; a sign of love and comfort for anyone who feels lonely and abandoned. It is a small and delicate sign, modest and silent, but rich in the power of God who became man out of love.”                                                                                                       _{St John Paul II, Midnight Mass in Basilica Peter, 2002}

On the occasion of Christmas, on behalf of the Management Board and the Foundation’s Refugees, I wish you many God’s graces and peace, love and hope for the New Year 2024.
