“Whether we are Christians or members of other religions, we can all celebrate the simple truth of the Christian message which has to do with love, tolerance, compassion and understanding”.
President, Jioji Konrote highlighted this in his Christmas message who says as Fijians recover from the latest flooding and the loss of crops and possessions, we can all be thankful that we have been spared the loss of life that we experienced back in February after Cyclone Winston.
He says people should comfort and support all those who are still struggling to recover from TC Winston and rededicate ourselves to the task of building an equal, just and fair Fiji.
Konrote says we can count ourselves extremely fortunate as Fijians that in a world that is often marked by selfishness and indifference, we are a caring nation.
He says Fijians care for each other and they care about the world whether it is sending our troops to keep the peace for the citizens of other nations, sending our civilian volunteers to build capacity in our Pacific neighbours or leading the fight against the effects of climate change or the threat to our oceans and seas.
Konrote has requested all to pray and spare a thought for our UN peacekeepers this Christmas day as well as the families they have left behind.
