This year the Assumption family in Vietnam is offering residence to 84 university students in Saigon, in four different communities. They are studying a variety of subjects: humanities, management, education, law, languages, engineering, etc. in many different schools. They are all responsible for organizing their daily life together. There is an Assumptionist and an Assumption sister assigned to each community to help with the spiritual development and to provide overall direction.
My dear Religious Brothers and Lay Brothers and Sisters in Assumption:
Christmas always reminds us that the love of God is close to us. Not only does the child Jesus make Himself human, but also His fragility reveals his face in the little ones of this world.
I cannot wish you anything better than the presence of Jesus in your lives, in your feelings, in your relationships and in your decisions. He is the one who has reunited us, He is the one who has called us to live our faith in the style of Assumption.
