This new year invites us to witness to the Gospel through joy, kindness, and lives that are visibly transformed.

The Church is a living community established by Christ to continue His redemptive work through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Rather than following the Bible in isolation, we find the truth by remaining obedient to the Church guided by the successors of the apostles and the successor of Peter. This path protects us from subjective interpretation and grants us the peace of being led by God.

Christianity does not break from Judaism but stands in direct continuity with it, fulfilling the promises revealed in the Old Testament. The people of Israel are not strangers to our faith, but our ancestors in faith, whose story is our own. As we await Christ’s coming, we are called to pray with love and humility for the fullness of God’s promises to be revealed.
