It’s that time again when we celebrate the greatest event ever to have happened on this earth: the birth of the Son of God in Bethlehem. This mystery is not only something we remember. It invites us to look honestly into our own lives—and to choose, with fresh clarity, what matters most on our journey ahead.

I invite you to watch and listen to the following video blog, which is my Christmas message to you. May you all have a happy, purposeful Christmas, and a new year of health and happiness.

And now, don’t forget to listen to the following Christmas song, which is dubbed the most beautiful Christmas song ever recorded.
