Thanks again to Scenron and his LA VIGNA DEL SIGNORE for the 2019 B16-banner... I also translate the New Year wishes he expressed on his Facebook page:
Most fervent wishes of peace and everything good. They are wishes which Christian faith makes 'reliable', so to speak, by anchoring them in the event that we are celebrating these days: the Incarnation of the Word of God, born of the Virgin Mary. Indeed, with the grace of the Lord - and only with it - can we hope that the future will be better than the past.
It is not about trusting in a more favorable destiny, much less in the entangled workings of the markets and finance, but to try, each of one of us, to be a bit more good and more responsible so we may count on the benevolence of the Lord.
BUON ANNO to the Catholic Church - that she may always be one, holy and apostolic, in the world, but not of it,
BUON ANNO to Pope Francis - that you may realize a true renewal of the Church, without forgetting Tradition, and to continue to value the prayerful presence of Benedict XVI.
BUON ANNO to our readers and friends on Facebook and Twitter - that we may continue to keep alive the memory of our beloved Pope Benedict,
and BUON ANNO, BELOVED BENEDICT - united with you in prayer, and together with you, let us continue to pray that the Church truly moves forward.
