On the occasion of the upcoming Christmas, the Archbishop of Vrhbosna, Metropolitan Vinko Puljic, and the Coadjutor Archbishop, Msgr. Tomo Vuksic sent their message to priests, monks, nuns and the faithful titled: "With the birth of Jesus Christ, the Godman entered our history."

“The Vrhbosna Church felt the need to awaken the spirit of communion and common walk in faith. It felt the need to renew everything in Christ. That is why we formed and celebrated our first synod,” the message said among other things.

“By sending you this Christmas message, we want to encourage you in the faith and encourage you to be open to the peace that Jesus brings. May this peace of Christ reign in your consciences, in your families and in your surroundings, May the celebration of Christmas shine with strong faith, firm trust and joyfully lived love,” Cardinal Puljic said.

The Cardinal added that in order for the peace of Christ to be visible, it is necessary to create mutual reconciliation, forgiveness and trust.

“In this spirit, we wish you a Merry Christmas, that will fill your hearts with grace, so that faith may be a joyful experience of the birth of Jesus. Let us unite our hearts in prayer to the newborn King, to share his peace in this country, and in the world, wherever people suffer because of injustice, persecution and disenfranchisement. In that common prayer, with the warmest greetings, we wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a blessed young summer 2022 “, the Arch Bishop of Vrhbosna said.
