Your birth, O Christ our God,
dawned the light of knowledge upon the earth.
For by Your birth those who adored stars
were taught by a star
to worship You, the Sun of Justice,
and to know You, Orient from on High.
O Lord, glory to You

Dear Friends,
In 1992, the UN General Assembly declared the 3rd December for the "International Day of Persons with Disabilities" and called on all governments to implement measures towards the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities and their full and equal participation in society.
Caritas Internationalis President Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga has expressed the sadness of the whole Caritas family following the tragic fire at a Caritas workshop for disabled people in south western Germany.
The fire in the centre in Titisee-Neustadt left 14 people dead and many injured.
Speaking from Düsseldorf, Cardinal Rodriguez said, “The prayers of the whole global Caritas confederation are with the families of those killed in this tragic incident, and with our Caritas Germany colleagues.”
“We know the colleagues at the scene will do everything to find out the cause for this terrible event,” Caritas Germany President Peter Neher was quoted by media sources as saying. He expressed grave sadness in an official statement, “Caritas Germany grieves.”
