Bishop Bosco’s Christmas Message gives us ‘Real Hope’

Bishop Bosco’s Christmas Message gives us ‘Real Hope’

Bishop Bosco MacDonald has recorded a special Christmas message for this Holy Season.


In his message, he tells us that the heart of Christmas is a simple scene: Mary and Joseph, the child, the manger. No triumphal entrance, no grand stage. God chooses closeness. God chooses to come within reach.


He continues to tell us that Christmas can feel very different from one person to the next. For some, it is pure joy: family, food, carol singing, full churches, familiar traditions that warm the heart. For others, it is a harder season: a grief that has not softened, relationships under strain, worries about money, anxiety about the world, a loneliness that feels sharper when everyone else seems to be celebrating.
