He urged Christians to imbibe the enduring lessons from the sacrifices of Jesus Christ to advance national peace, security, charity, fairness and peaceful coexistence.
While wishing Christians a peaceful, joyful and successful celebration, he urged them to dedicate special prayers for peace, progress and prosperity of the country before, during and after the 2027 elections.
