Letter for Advent 2009 from Superior General
FAMVIN.ORG has published Letter for Advent 2009 addressed by Superior Gemeral, Fr. Gregory Gay CM. In this letter we can read: “… This Christmas, especially in this time of Advent, I’d like to focus on it being a time of bringing back the true meaning of Christmas and purifying our attitudes with regard to what we are really about in this most significant liturgical time of our Christian faith. It is about the birth of God into our lives in and through the person of the Child God, Jesus, a theme so important in the spirituality of our own Saint Vincent de Paul (…) This Advent season, I’d like us to think about and reflect on a particular aspect of the Christmas season which is so important; to understand the birth of the Lord Jesus as one who comes to bring to the world peace and harmony. He is the Prince of Peace as we reflect on the scriptures throughout the Advent-Christmas season. What has provoked me to want to speak more in depth and to have us reflect on the subject of peace is the actual world situation in which we live today.”
