Mons. Javier del Río Alba, Archbishop of Arequipa in southern Peru, encouraged people to welcome Jesus this Christmas 2023, so that He may be the one who renews and transforms the life of each one.
In his message entitled “Admirable exchange!”, sent to ACI Prensa, the prelate recalled that “at Christmas we not only celebrate another year of the birth of Jesus, an event that has marked the history of humanity, but, by celebrating it In the liturgy, that event surpasses the limits of space and time and becomes present for us in the present day of our history.”
“This Christmas we all have the possibility of welcoming Jesus so that, entering into us, he renews our life and transforms it, destroying death in us and making us participants in his own divine life that has no end,” the Archbishop stressed.
