Editor's Note: The following Christmas message was sent to United Methodists of Susquehanna and Upper New York on Wednesday, December 24, 2025 on behalf of Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez.
Dear Family of God,
Grace and peace from Jesus Christ, our Savior and Friend be with you.
This Christmas, and everyday, may we remember the One who stepped into our world and declared, “I am the world’s Light… I provide plenty of light to live in.” In a world longing for healing and wholeness, the light of Jesus calls us not only to be transformed, but to walk in ways that bring justice, mercy, and compassion to others.
As Christ’s light guides us out of darkness, may we open our lives to a holy renewal—letting Jesus, and the hope, peace, joy, and love He brings, be born anew in our hearts. And as we receive that gift, may we boldly share Jesus’ hope with a world still aching for light.
Merry Christmas and may the peace of Christ shine through you in all you do.
The Burgos-Adorno Family
