Liberia: Christmas Message from George Manneh Weah

Fellow Liberians, as we mark yet another celebration of Christmas, I beseech us all to remain thankful to the Almighty God who has granted our beloved country his abundant grace and mercy throughout the passing year.

Despite the trials and tribulations, we faced in our individual lives and as a nation collectively, we continue to steer safely, for which we ought to be grateful.

Christmas is an important day for Christians around the world. It marks the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Like millions around the world, Liberians mark the period by demonstrating how much our families, friends, and neighbors mean to us.

I hope that this special tradition takes hold again this year.

Our Lord teaches us to love our neighbors. There’s no better time than now to show how much we care. We must endeavor, however, to extend that warmth beyond the confines of our walls, as being nice to others not only fulfills the requirements of the scripture but also ensures that society is harmonious and peaceful.

So regardless of our different persuasions, be it political or social, we must aspire to break down the superficial barriers that have come to set us apart as people, especially during this CHRISTMAS season.

I urge you to Reach out to a friend or foe and make him know that regardless of your different worldviews, we are one people pledging allegiance to the same flag.

We have together fought many afflictions that have challenged us as a nation, including wars and pestilence.

There’s no height we can’t reach if work together as a people.

This Christmas is coming at a time we are preparing to put our rich culture and tradition on display as we celebrate a bicentennial of God’s grace to our beloved country Liberia.

It is a therefore my hope that every Liberian will open arms and share in the moment of pride.

Liberians everywhere, regardless of their ethnic, religious, or political affiliations, must begin the process of national renewal knowing we belong to one patrimony.

For in UNION STRONG, SUCCESS IS SURE!!

Merry Christmas!!!!!
