5 Niech się weseli święty, bo bliski jest zwycięstwa, niech się raduje grzesznik, bo dane jest mu przebaczenie. Niech powróci do życia poganin, bo do życia jest powołany. W małym Świętym Dziecku, Bóg daje nam zbawienie. Niech Gwiazda Betlejemska zwiastuje nam w sercu na nowo tę dobrą nowinę, niech się rozraduje serce i uwierzy Jezusowi. Niech Nowonarodzony oświeca drogi codziennego życia, obdarza błogosławieństwem i pomaga życie czynić szczęśliwym. Dobrych, rodzinnych, ciepłych, błogosławionych Świąt Narodzenia Jezusa Chrystusa i szczęśliwego nowego roku!!!
