Special Message for Readers from Bishop Paul Hinder, Vicar Apostolic of Arabia


Special Message for Readers from Bishop Paul Hinder, Vicar Apostolic of Arabia

Saudi Arabia, Dec 25: On the occasion of Christmas, bishop Paul Hinder, Vicar Apostolic of Arabia has for the first time conveyed his special wishes to the readers of Daijiworld.com.

Dear readers of daijiworld.com,

One of these days I read the quote: "It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air" (W T Ellis). Actually we are celebrating Advent before Christmas precisely in order to open our heart for the one who is about to come: as the powerless child in Bethlehem and as the powerful Lord of the Universe at the end of the times. When Christ truly lives in our heart (cf. Gal 2:20) then we are also able to “put Christmas in the air”.

Give Christ space in your heart and you will put Christmas in the air for all those who meet you!

I wish you all Daijiworld viewers a Merry Christmas! May you experience "the kindness and generous love of God our Saviour" (Titus 3:4) who came to us in Christ Jesus. May he bless your entrance to the year 2011 and grant you his peace and joy!


Bishop Paul Hinder
Vicar Apostolic of Arabia

    I was present in the bishop's Mass, His Highness was holding the CROSS which was on its chest, but why can't there be a CROSS in St. Antony's Church - we don't worship idols, true we Catholics don't believe but in St Antonius Church THE MAIN CROSS is missing. CROSS is THE WEPON which is not found there. I request my Lordship to place THE CROSS in the church

    ‘Eesa ibn Maryam (Jesus son of Mary – peace be upon him) was one of the noble Prophets of Allaah, and one of the Messengers of strong will, whom Allaah sent to the Children of Israel, and taught him the Torah and Gospel, and stated that he had come to confirm what was in the Torah.
    ‎"It is He Who sent down to you (step by step) in truth the Book confirming what went before it, as He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to humankind."

    The Holy Quran, 3:3

    Praise be to the One God, who begets not, nor is begotten.
