Christmas: Bishop Wiesemann calls for silence and peace!
In the contemplative time of Christmas, the bishops in Germany bring a clear message of hope and peace. Bishop Karl-Heinz Wiesemann from Speyer describes Christmas as an "antidote" in a world characterized by violence. In his Christmas sermon, he expressed "silent fore -wicked anger" and "silent pain" about the current Situation in Magdeburg and appealed for respectful dialogue and mutual understanding. He emphasized that true humanity and peace can thrive in silence, especially during Christmas. This silence is not only an escape from the hustle and bustle, but also an expression of God's love, which appeals to all people, like n-tv.de reported.
A call to reversal and reconciliation
In addition, other German bishops expressed their thoughts on the challenges of the current world situation. Archbishop Heiner Koch found that God's love remains despite human illusions and that even in difficult times. Bishop Heinrich Timmerevers asked to invest in love and recalled that reversal and reconciliation are fundamental Christmas requests, especially in view of violence in Ukraine and the Middle East. He encouraged to discover miracles in everyday life and to surprise others positively with small gestures. This was also supported by the Erfurt bishop Ulrich Neymeyr, who reminded that great changes often begin in the unobtrusive arrival of Christ, as| Details | |
