🌟✨ “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.”
- Isaiah 9:6 💝

It’s CHRISTMAS! As we celebrate the most wonderful time of the year, let us unwrap the greatest gift of all: the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ! Just like the bright star that guided the three wise men on the day of His birth, may His love and light guide our hearts this holiday season. ✨

💙 May your day of Christmas be merry and bright, your hearts full of joy, and your homes blessed with peace and kindness.

🎄✨ Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, OLPSian-Paulinians! May your season sparkle with faith, love, and endless holiday cheer! 🎅❄️
