All of humanity, believers and non-believers alike, will feel that this night is unique, because salvation comes for all men and women who inhabit the earth without distinction. This night will be one of peace for the whole world. Let us prepare ourselves during this Advent season to receive it with open hearts, knowing that the Savior has come and continues to come to redeem all humankind. And although many do not believe that God sent His only begotten Son into the world to save it, although many remain distant from or ignorant of God, we believe that God came to save us all and that He ceaselessly pours out His love upon us all.
