We wish all mankind a merry and peaceful Christmas 2017. We will pray for all, for all who are not well, for all who are threatened by hunger or war. For all who are oppressed and who experience hatred and exclusion instead of love, we will pray. The hope that everyone will be able to escape their suffering for a short time and to experience reflective days, is our wish – even if it is a small wish and it means that the suffering comes back!
