Bishop's Residence, Tagbilaran City, 6300
Bohol, Philippines Christmas
Greetings to the People of God of the Diocese of Tagbilaran and the Province of
Bohol!
The
fundamental significance of Christmas is Peace…good will. Peace that was
given by the Child who was born in Bethlehem. This Peace is based on good relationship
with others because when the Child eventually grew up, He was willing to stand
up for the well-being of others; He always bestowed blessings to others; and,
ultimately, He was ready to die for the good of others.
In
a world where we are constantly threatened by disorder, strife and confusion,
we are called to be always thoughtful and sincere with our relationships. Peace
will only happen and is unfolded when we are true to ourselves and upright with
our relationships to others by embodying in us the Gospel message.
In
short, Peace is a message of Love. For God so loved the world that He gave His
only Son, the Prince of Peace. May we who accept God's gift of love achieve the
true peace that we longed for.
Therefore
my greetings of Peace and Love! 
(Sgd.)
