Only a few days remain until the celebration of Christmas, when, for love, our God became a child to save us. May we, contemplating the great Mystery of the Incarnation, allow ourselves to be transformed by the Lord and encourage a culture of encounter around us.
In the face of the pain and suffering that pervades our world, so many armed conflicts, so many wars and enmities… let us be instruments so that, through our work, our commitment to change unjust social structures, or through simple, close and personal gestures, everyone may experience that Jesus speaks to them and says: ‘I have loved you’ (cf. Dilexi Te 121).
From the FIAC Secretariat, we wish you a Merry and Holy Christmas!!!!

Christmas 2025
Jesus was born in humble surroundings and laid in a manger; then,
to save him from being killed, they fled to Egypt (‘cf. Mt 2:13-15’).
He presented himself to the world not only as a poor Messiah,
but also as the Messiah of and for the poor.
