Udupi Bishop Gerald Lobo Conveys Christmas Greetings
Udupi: Udupi Bishop Dr Gerlad Isaac Lobo on Monday, December 24 conveyed his hearty wishes on the occasion of Christmas.
In a press release Bishop Gerald said, Lighting and illumination have an important place in the celebration of Christmas. The Crib, the Christmas tree and the light emitted by the twinkling stars dispel the darkness and impart contentment to our hearts and minds. This feast of light, like the Deepavali, lasts for a few days and the darkness envelopes us again. We have to light a lamp whenever we need the light and dispel the darkness
The light effusing from God alone can dispel the darkness permanently. This is the spiritual light. “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who dwell in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.” (Isaiah 9:2) This spiritual light appeared to us in Lord Jesus, the incarnate Son of God, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
May the divine Babe of Bethlehem, Jesus Christ, who came to enlighten all of us, dispel our intellectual and spiritual darkness and lead us on the path of Truth!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
