Dear friends and companions of Malteser International,
Many of us find the idea of God strange or difficult or remote. This is especially so when we consider the terrible frailty and the suffering that we see all around us.
On Christmas day, we know exactly where we can find God. And if we look for Him in his manger in the stable in Bethlehem, we find not only something that we can grasp, but something that we can pick up and hold in our hands: a child surrounded by a mother’s love. A God who wants our help.
In the Order of Malta, help is exactly what we do: we get close to God by serving poor and sick people. We recognize suffering because in “the true light” (John 1:9) of the incarnation, we see that we are made for something better. This is how at MI we know that all people deserve health and dignity.
With your help, we are working to make sure that even amongst the deepest despair of our world – amongst displaced people in Ukraine, those suffering hunger in eastern Africa, or those urgently in need of medical treatment in the Middle East – this “light shines in the darkness.” (John 1:5).
Thank you making it possible for us to keep this light alive.
In the name of all the MI family, I wish you a blessed Christmas and a happy New Year.
Yours sincerely,
|
