Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you! As we celebrate this joyous season, even though we are far from our beloved homeland, the spirit of Christmas remains alive in our hearts—love, generosity, and faith.
Here in Austria, our Filipino traditions continue to shine brightly: the Simbang Gabi, Noche Buena, and the close-knit bond of our community. The warmth of our smiles and togetherness becomes a beacon of light in the cold European winter, bringing comfort and joy to us.
Our resilience, cheerfulness, and compassion inspire our fellow Filipinos and touch the hearts of our Austrian friends. Despite the challenges of being away from family, we prove that Christmas is not about material gifts but the love and connection we share.
As we gather this Christmas season, let us reflect on the blessings we have received and offer our gratitude to the Lord for strength, health, and unity. My prayers are for continued growth, prosperity, and peace in every Filipino home in Austria and worldwide.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas. May love and grace fill your hearts. Let us continue to inspire one another and carry the light of our culture wherever we go.
Wishing you a joyful and peaceful Christmas!
