 Christmas: Cleric Urges All to Welcome Jesus Christ Into Their Hearts as King of the Universe


By Regina Igwebuike


Rev. Fr. Donatus Oragwam, Parish Priest of St. Matthew's Catholic Church, Amawbia, and Dean of Amawbia Deanery, has called on all, especially Christians to wholeheartedly welcome Jesus Christ into their hearts as the King of the Universe during this holy season of Christmas going forward.


Delivering his homily, Fr. Oragwam reflected on the mystery of Christ’s birth, noting that people from all corners of the earth journeyed to Bethlehem to honour the newborn King. “Though born in a manger due to lack of space at the inn, that humble beginning did not stop kings, shepherds, and people from all walks of life from coming to adore Him,” he said.


Drawing from the day’s readings, the priest explained that in times past, God spoke to His people through the prophets, but in this present age, He speaks to us through His Son, Jesus Christ. “Today’s second reading reminds us that Jesus is the only one whom God referred to as His Son. He alone was chosen to fulfill the Word, and His coming into the world was a divine mission of love and salvation,” he emphasized.


Fr. Oragwam urged the faithful to embrace the true meaning of Christmas, which is not just about celebration but about welcoming the Prince of Peace into their hearts, homes, and lives. “Christmas is a time to renew our faith, to love, forgive, and share with others, especially the less privileged. It is the season of hope, joy, and the manifestation of God’s greatest gift to humanity, His Son.”


He prayed that the birth of Christ would bring peace, unity, and blessings to families, communities, and the entire world.
