8 MOST REVEREND JOHN C. FAVALORA CHRISTMAS 2015 My dear friends, Greetings in this Holy Year of the Lord s Mercy. What a greater act of mercy than for the Father to have His Son born of our flesh and live our life! What a greater act of mercy than for the Father to send His Son to show us the Way back to the Father. Because our God is ever kind and merciful, we too in imitation of Him are called to be ever kind and merciful to one and to all. Lord have mercy! Merry Christmas! Sincerely in the Lord, Archbishop Emeritus of Miami
