THE LANGUAGE OF CHRISTMAS IS LOVE. Christmas Message of Most Reverend Emmanuel Adetoyese Badejo (Bishop, Catholic Diocese of Oyo and President of CEPACS-SECAM)

Christmas speaks God’s word to our broken, suffering world and his language is love. That fact will never change. The Bible teaches: “At many moments in the past and by many means, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets: but in our time, the final days, he has spoken to us in the person of his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the ages” (Heb. 1:1-2). Emmanuel, God with us, is the consequence of God’s love. Christmas says: Do more for families
