A Christmas Message from Gita Santih Nusantara
Dear Beloved Sir/Madam,
Through the serene spirit of Christmas, we are inspired to cultivate the spirit of togetherness, unity, and compassion among us. Let us collectively build a better world by spreading the light of love and kindness to everyone in our diversity.
Christmas beckons us to perpetuate the communal worship of family life devoted to God. Let us model our homes in Gita Santih Nusantara as sanctuaries of worship.
In this context, the tranquility of Christmas compels us to heighten our awareness, foster a critical mindset, and courageously oppose various forms of environmental degradation. This includes the thoughtless exploitation of natural resources without restorative efforts and the perilous contamination of water, soil, and air, all of which pose significant threats to the survival of every living being. The responsibility to safeguard our environment is a universal calling, emphasizing that the well-being of all creatures can only be realized when the sanctity and sustainability of nature’s creation are steadfastly preserved.
Through the serenity of Christmas, let us actualize a harmonious national existence amidst our diversity, striving to nurture an outstanding generation that will propel Indonesia towards resilience.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas, with the hope that God’s blessings may encompass us all.
