Don Bosco College, Kohima celebrated Pre-Christmas today with KD Vizo, Commissioner and Secretary for Information Technology & Communication, Additional Charge of Power as chief guest. Speaking on the occasion, he said, “Pre-Christmas is a time to prepare ourselves spiritually for the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.”
Expressing that Christmas season may have different meaning for different people, he however said that, “for us, Christians, the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of age-old prophecies and the reaffirmation of God’s great love for us. It is a generous gift of our Heavenly Father and through His beloved son, we all know that hope and compassion entered our world.” To some extent, he said that Christmas is a state of mind and it should be present throughout the year to ensure that faith overcomes doubt, hope conquers despair and love triumphs over hate. “Therefore, let us resolve to honor the spirit of Christmas and strive to keep it throughout the year and let us pray that prudence, wisdom and understanding might descend on all of us so that in the years ahead we may fully realize the wonderful dream: Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, good will toward men”, he said.
The Commissioner & Secretary also added that if we celebrate pre-Christmas in a meaningful way, together we can prove that this world can be a better place to live with happiness and hope.
