Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fall River shared a Christmas message reflecting on hope, peace, and unity during the Jubilee Year of Hope.

He emphasized the significance of the Jubilee Year, inaugurated by Pope Francis and continued by Pope Leo XIV, and highlighted the importance of hope in the Christmas celebration.

"In the Incarnation, as the divine and human are united, hope becomes flesh in Jesus Christ," da Cunha said in his Christmas 2025 message.

He referenced the Gospel of Luke, where Angel Gabriel announces the birth of Christ to the shepherds, bringing a message of hope and joy.
