Advent Greetings — "Let's make room in our hearts for Christ"

Dear sisters and brothers, as we enter the sacred season of Advent, we are reminded that God steps into this world not in moments of perfection, but in times of deep longing, disruption and need. Advent calls us to look for Christ's coming light precisely in the places where darkness feels strongest. Today, our world is marked by conflict, displacement and deep polarization. Many are displaced from their homes. Women and children in war zones face unthinkable trauma, family scary grief that words cannot express. And yet, Advent proclaims a truth that cannot be shaken.   God has not forgotten His people. He has not withdrawn. He has not left us.   Christ comes to us as Immanuel, God with us, bringing His presence into every place of suffering and every story of heartbreak. As the Women's Commission, we hear this call very deeply. Advent compels us to make room in our hearts and in our actions for those who are hurting. Incarnation is not only a miracle to celebrate, it is a model to imitate. This season, may we show practical and courageous love. May we stand with the displaced and offer welcome. May you have a joyous Christmas and happy New Year. God bless you all.
