CHRISTMAS MESSAGE / MENSAGEM DE NATAL

HAPPY CHRISTMAS

"This Christmas, may we reflect on the true miracle of this day: the birth of Jesus Christ, the light of the world. May the celebration of His love and His coming to Earth renew our faith and bring us true peace and hope. I wish everyone a blessed holiday season, filled with God's presence, and may we experience the profound meaning of His love and salvation in our lives. A Merry and Holy Christmas to all!"

Saint John - CHAPTER 1 (Bible - Gospel)

1 In the beginning was the Word: the Word was with God and the Word was God.

2 He was with God in the beginning.

3 Through him all things came into being, not one thing came into being except through him.

4 What has come into being in him was life, life that was the light of men;

5 and light shines in darkness, and darkness could not overpower it.

6 A man came, sent by God. His name was John.

7 He came as a witness, to bear witness to the light, so that everyone might believe through him.

8 He was not the light, he was to bear witness to the light.

9 The Word was the real light that gives light to everyone; he was coming into the world.

10 He was in the world that had come into being through him, and the world did not recognise him.

11 He came to his own and his own people did not accept him.

12 But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believed in his name

13 who were born not from human stock or human desire or human will but from God himself.

14 The Word became flesh, he lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory that he has from the Father as only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

15 John witnesses to him. He proclaims: 'This is the one of whom I said: He who comes after me has passed ahead of me because he existed before me.'

16 Indeed, from his fullness we have, all of us, received -- one gift replacing another,

17 for the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth have come through Jesus Christ.

Jim Caviezel's important interview

Jim Caviezel Full Interview After The Passion Of The Christ Filming.

Jim Caviezel sits down with Dave Cooper in this powerful full interview shortly after filming 'The Passion of the Christ' (2004). What begins as a conversation quickly becomes a moving sermon as Jim boldly shares the Gospel, speaks from the heart about suffering, redemption, and faith, and encourages viewers to seek God’s purpose for their lives.

This message is especially meaningful during Holy Week as we reflect on Christ’s sacrifice and the power of God’s love.
