Merry Christmas from the entire Redemptorist family! We thank you for your accompaniment and support in 2023 and eagerly anticipate bringing you high-quality online features in the coming year, 2024.
Crafted in collaboration with international Redemptorist partners from across the globe, this e-Christmas card is now available in multiple languages, including Spanish, German, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Sinhala and French. The diverse linguistic representation reflects the universality of the Christmas spirit, fostering a sense of unity and pride in the diversity found in the Catholic Faith.
John Hodgson, Provincial Redemptorist Oceania, shares his perspective on the Christmas message: “In a world grappling with profound suffering, marred by injustice, fear, anger, hatred, and despair, the birth of Jesus Christ beckons us to embrace rather than ignore the complexities of life’s enduring challenges. This Christmas E-Card is an invitation to join a transformative journey and be blessed by the hope and joy that arises when we face life’s messiness together, walk with the marginalized, and unwrap the gift of God’s healing through the profound power of love and compassion within us all. “
The contemporary arrangement of the classic hymn “Joy to the World” was recorded and mixed in Common Home Studios. Featuring the powerful vocals of Niamh O’Neill and a blazing lead guitar of Fr Oche Matutina CSsR, this track is now accessible on SoundCloud.
The Redemptorists extend an open invitation to audiences globally to join in this heartwarming celebration of Christmas, embracing the challenge to make the spirit of Christmas a year-round experience. Find hope, joy, and unity in the shared message of “An Invitation to Christmas.” Visit www.commonhome.tv for more videos, podcasts and more.
