1 NEWSLETTER 66 DECEMBER 2017 Christmas Greetings Hallelujah. This is all what it counts today, the birth of our Lord Baby Jesus. Prince of Peace, Lord of Lords.
2 Message from the Grand Master Dear Confreres and friends of the Confraternity, Today we are celebrating the nativity of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The nativity of Baby Jesus Christmas. For many people, Christmas brings with it joy for young and old, all over the world. Decorations in the home, the shops and the streets, carol singing, presents, family gatherings and the Christmas Mass, makes it the best celebration of the year. For us the knights of St. Peter & St. Paul, Christmas should be a time to visit the sick and the lonely, a time to give a smile and a hug to those who are suffering in silence. Christmas time is also a sad time for people who mourn a love one who passed away during the year. We remember them in our prayers. Knighthood is not about titles and dress ups, we all have a commitment to do our part to visit people at an old age homes or in hospitals. Most importantly we all have a commitment to the Confraternity to keep in contact with the local prior and the Supreme Council through the Grand Master. On behalf of my wife Dame Mary Portelli and the Supreme Council, I wish you all a very Merry and Holy Christmas and a Happy and blessed New Year God willing we meet again in Malta and Portugal in June, May the Lord baby Jesus bless us all. Chevalier Peter Paul Portelli Grand Master

6 Greetings from Germany Frohe Weihnachten und ein glückliches Neues Jahr 2018 wünscht das Großkapitel Deutschland der Bruderschaft der Ritter von St. Peter & St. Paul The Grand Chapter of Germany of the Confraternity of the Knights of St Peter & St Paul wishes to everybody Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2018 Prof Dr. Lothar Gellert Großprior/Grand Prior The Christmas story Mary and her husband-to-be, Joseph, lived in a town called Nazareth. But they had to travel to the city of Bethlehem to register for a census ordered by the Roman emperor, Caesar Augustus. Both Nazareth and Bethlehem are in the country now called Israel. It is about 65 miles (105 km) from Nazareth to Bethlehem, and the trip probably took them several days. When Joseph and Mary got to Bethlehem, there was no place for them to stay because the inn was already full. They ended up spending the night in a stable, a place where animals were kept. There was probably fresh hay on the floor that they used for beds. That night, Jesus was born. There was no crib, so they laid baby Jesus in a manger, a feeding trough for animals. The manger probably had fresh hay in it and made a nice bed for the baby.
7 Jesus was born in a stable and laid to sleep in a manger. The shepherds came to see firsthand the things the angel had told them. That night, some shepherds were in the fields near Bethlehem, keeping watch over their flocks of sheep. An angel appeared to them and gave them the good news that a Savior, the Messiah, had been born. The angel told the shepherds they could find Jesus lying in a manger. Suddenly a whole group of angels appeared saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" The shepherds hurried into Bethlehem and found Jesus in the manger, just as the angel had told them. After they had seen Jesus, they spread the news, and everyone who heard was in awe. This is all I have for you. God bless you in St. Peter and St. Paul Chevalier Peter Paul Portelli Grand Master Seat in Melbourne Australia.
