Rev. Fr. Pascual Chávez sdb ROME, DECEMBER 25, 2008: Dear Friends, “I give you news of great joy, Christ the Saviour is born today”. This is the beautiful message that the Christmas liturgy brings us. There is no room for sadness when life is 
born. Today, more than ever, the world tormented by so many crises and so much suffering, needs to hear some ‘good news’, to listen to the Gospel. While I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I pray that we may make God’s dream our own – that we may all strive together to make the whole world more human, working first of all for the good of the young and the poor; promoting peace, freedom and the dignity of every single person in the world.
