Thousands at St John’s Cathedral for Christmas Masses

Msgr Leonard Lexson celebrated the English Mass with 3,000 faithful on Dec 24.

In his homily, Msgr Leonard said that the peace that we have, the world cannot give, only God can give. He has given us His peace that has no end; but why are we not living in peace? No matter what happens in the world, we must recognize this peace like Mary and Joseph and the shepherds did. We are today called to recognise, once again, His everlasting peace.

A married couple carried the icon of the Infant Jesus, followed by Msgr Leonard and the altar servers who proceeded to the left wing where the Nativity scene had been setup by the Migrants Concern Ministry.

The couple placed the icon in the manger, followed by Msgr Leonard incensing and blessing the Nativity scene.

Many of the faithful venerated the icon of the Infant Jesus later.

On December 25, the two morning Masses saw a total of some 4,500 faithful participating.
