We know very well that it is God who initiated Christmas and the Love of God is the only reason that made Christmas happen. &#8220;For this is how God loved the world: he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.&#8221; (Jn 3:16) God did this while we were still sinners (cfr. Rom 5:8). The light of God&#8217;s love shines in the darkness of humanity&#8217;s selfishness and lead them to perfect love.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Those who live in darkness do not realize that they are in darkness unless \u00a0they see the light that shines upon them. In the Christmas story we see poor and lowly shepherd who were filled with joy as they see the light of Christmas. However, there is also Herod who was filled with hatred and the desire to destroy. Naturally, there are people who come out into the light yet there are also people who clings to darkness. This reminds us that Christmas is not mere external celebrations and holidays but a challenge. It is also an invitation to come out of our darkness and live in the light of Christmas. Let us welcome this light so that our heart may truly be filled with joy.<\/p>\n<p>With the general election of 8<sup>th<\/sup> November, our nation sees the dawn of change. It is up to us to allow it to be a bright day light. Naturally, it is impossible to get a unanimous choice in the election. Although the majority wins in the election the minority cannot be excluded in the nation building. We must overcome the competitions and differences. This year is a year of blessing to each one of you,\u00a0 my brothers and sisters. \u00a0This is a great time to be in this country.\u00a0 \u00a0By\u00a0 reconciling with one another, forgetting all the past\u00a0 darkness of hatred, we can make Christ\u2019s message of Peace\u00a0 possible to all people of Good Will.\u00a0 So we call upon all men and women of good will, bring the great message of peace and prosperity to this nation.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;Peace to all people of good will&#8221;<\/em><\/strong> (Lk 2:13)<\/p>\n<p>A good will is a sine qua non for acquiring peace. I wish to commend on\u00a0 seven sections of the people in Myanmar\u00a0 whose good will can bring peace with justice to this nation.\u00a0 Yes\u00a0 we all can\u00a0 build a new Myanmar, a Golden Myanmar, a new heaven and new earth ( Rev 21)\u00a0 in this land if we can synergize\u00a0 the good will of all of us. \u00a0Immanuel is with us and we can work miracles together.<\/p>\n<p>First\u00a0 of all I congratulate our country men and women.\u00a0 You have stood together in times of sorrow and darkness.\u00a0 Now there is dawn.\u00a0 But our work is not over, it just begins.\u00a0\u00a0 Just as the\u00a0 mystery of Incarnation started\u00a0 in the simple manger of\u00a0 Bethlehem\u00a0 the task of\u00a0 rebuilding a new nation starts in our\u00a0 hearts and in our houses.\u00a0 After long years of\u00a0 expectation\u00a0 it is natural to look for quick results but democracy is a process\u00a0 not a drama that ends with a night of\u00a0 celebration.\u00a0 As\u00a0 Abraham Lincoln\u00a0 cautioned\u00a0 democracy is by the people, for the people and of the people.\u00a0\u00a0 We may choose our leaders but\u00a0 democracy is the fruit of our hard labour. \u00a0Democracy is a fundamental right. But Catholic Social Teaching always warns us : Every right has a responsibility.\u00a0 We are\u00a0 committed to our responsibilities today.<\/p>\n<p>The temptation is to\u00a0 rush into irrational expectations, protests and even rioting.\u00a0 There is a time for every thing.\u00a0\u00a0 It is wise to listen to President John F Kennedy, \u00a0\u00a0\u201c <em>Ask not what the country has done for you,\u00a0 ask what you have done for your country\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>Nation building is the task of all of us. Now that the ballot box has spoken and we have leaders who have\u00a0 proved to be morally upright, it is our duty to build a nation without war and want.\u00a0 With Good Will we can and we will do that.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0I call upon all men\u00a0 and women of good will to\u00a0 join hands in Myanmar.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Good will of People of Myanmar<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You have spoken unambiguously in the recent election.\u00a0 When I called for\u00a0 voting as a \u2018pilgrimage of hope\u2019 and requested all of you to vote 80 percent of you voted and voted with responsibility.\u00a0 Your efforts have brought in a silent revolution.\u00a0 It is your task now to build peace among communities, never giving into the discourses of hatred. Every man and woman, of any\u00a0 race or greed belong to this nation.\u00a0\u00a0 We the people of Myanmar\u00a0 come with Good Will to build a nation with peace and prosperity.\u00a0\u00a0 Believe in the goodness of all.<\/p>\n<p>All of us by nature are very religious. So, let us base our code of conduct on the teachings of our faith. The authenticity to our religion will bring froth a good will in us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>The Good will of victors in the Election<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We congratulate the NLD \u00a0who won the election. At the same time we also wish and pray that you may build the nation in spite of enormous challenges that lie in wait.\u00a0 The people of Myanmar have invested their hopes and future in your fragile hands, knowing that power of empty\u00a0 hands has \u2018sent away the mighty and raised the lowly\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0 You have shown your sagacity by\u00a0 proposing a government of national reconciliation.\u00a0 Church joins in your Good will\u00a0 and efforts to bring peace with\u00a0 justice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>The grace and the good will of those who lost <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The world stands in awe at the graceful way the president and the USDP accepted the verdict and welcomed the victors.\u00a0 For the last five years you have done a lot for this country ensuring that the incremental democracy brings greater inclusiveness.\u00a0 Your good will\u00a0 at peaceful\u00a0 transfer of power is a great example to the world where enormous blood shed is the norm in transfer of power. History will gratefully remember you for your generosity and statesmanship.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>The Good will of the Army Generals Present and the Past<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We\u00a0 sincerely believe in the change of heart of the army. From mentality of a junta, the\u00a0 past and present leadership of the army is\u00a0 changing into a\u00a0 guardian of democratic\u00a0 transition.\u00a0 Much needs to be done but we are heartened by the good will shown by the present General and the retired Generals in honoring the verdict of the people. \u00a0A new Myanmar needs the Army, in its primary role of\u00a0 protecting the nation from external threats.\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0 good will shown to the leader of NLD is a great promise for this nation and we are indebted to your\u00a0 confidence in the democracy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>The Good will of the religious leaders and religions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In general, religion teaches to\u00a0 love and care for one another: Karuna and Metta are foundations of religions. As we live virtuous life we are to show love and respect to others. However, the\u00a0 sad reality is the incidents of conflicts and wars in the name of religion. Myanmar\u2019s future\u00a0 depends on the positive role of the religious\u00a0 leaders.\u00a0 All attempts to abuse religion for political\u00a0 purposes need to be resisted by all religions and religious leaders. The good will of religion is the capacity to live in harmony with different faith and religion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>The Good will of all tribes and nationalities<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Myanmar is a nation which is comprised of different tribes. This image of our nation must be safe guarded by all means. Myanmar has to solve its identity crisis which has dragged the country into chronic wars and displacement. After sixty years of \u2018independence\u2019 we\u00a0 are a bleeding nation.\u00a0\u00a0 Peace has its dividends\u00a0 for all.\u00a0 We call upon all tribes and nationalities to engage in peaceful negotiations for durable peace.\u00a0 In good will we all shall explore the\u00a0 federal solution to our problems. However, peace cannot be build just on the papers. Peace can be achieved only with our good will and sincere hearts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong>The Good will of the Church<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Church is one of the few organizations in the country that is really \u2018national\u2019 in character. It is found in every tribe and every race and nationality.\u00a0 This\u00a0 privilege\u00a0 comes with great responsibility. With its good will, Church is called upon to stand with the most marginalized, as Pope\u00a0 Francis calls forth persistently.\u00a0 Church is here to ensure that democracy is inclusive, targeted towards the most vulnerable.\u00a0\u00a0 We assure the rulers\u00a0 Church is your trusted partner in\u00a0 nation building.\u00a0 We know the poor. We are a poor church for the poor.\u00a0 Our accompaniment is vital for their dignity.<\/p>\n<p>This nation is a wounded nation, \u2018not in place for judgment\u2019 (Pope Francis).\u00a0 This is\u00a0 a time for healing not vengeance.\u00a0 It is a time for forgiveness.\u00a0 It is a time for national reconciliation.\u00a0 It is a time for uplifting the most neglected.\u00a0 We are at the cross roads.\u00a0 Death and Life stare at our face. Let us choose\u00a0 life. \u00a0\u201c<em>This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that <\/em><em>I have set before you life and death<\/em>, <em>blessings and curses. Choose life so that you may live<\/em>\u201d (Deut : 30:19).<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Our task of nation building in a new Myanmar is huge. But\u00a0 the dream of a new world started in the\u00a0 humble manger of Bethlehem with a poor carpenter\u2019s family who had \u2018 no place\u00a0 for their son\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0 Faith can move mountains.\u00a0 Together\u00a0 with Good Will\u00a0 we the people of Myanmar can move mountains and reach our promised land of justice, peace and prosperity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>MERRY CHRISTMAS \u2013 PROSPEROUS AND PEACEFUL NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU.
