† Christmas and New Year’s Message

Knights and Ladies in the Lord,
Distinguished Members, Friends, and Benefactors of the Hospitaller Order of the Knights of Saint Bernard,

In the holy light of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ and as we approach the New Year, I extend to you my warmest greetings, filled with gratitude, hope, and fraternal charity.

The Mystery of Christmas reminds us that God’s love is manifested in humility, service, and sacrifice—virtues that form the very foundation of our hospitaller and chivalric vocation. Following the example of Saint Bernard, patron saint of charity and care for the most vulnerable, let us faithfully continue our witness to a living faith, active through love.

May the New Year be for each of us a time of spiritual renewal, fraternal unity, and fruitful service for the benefit of the sick, the poor, and the abandoned. In a world often marked by uncertainty and division, our Order is called to remain a sign of hope, order, and Christian mercy.

I wish each of you, and your families, a blessed Christmas, peace of heart, health of body and soul, and a New Year filled with God’s grace and light.

† In caritate et fide,

Felix-Maximilian-Maria Bogoridi-Liven
Prince Regent
Hospitaller Order of the Knights of Saint Bernard
