To my brothers and sisters, Iraqi Christians in the diaspora,

With great joy and hearts full of love, we extend our warmest wishes and congratulations on the occasion of Christmas, the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Light of the World and the Source of Hope. On this blessed day, we draw inspiration from the birth of the infant Jesus, reminding us that humanity's mission on earth is to reflect the image of God in which we were created. Through His boundless love, we proclaim, teach, and share this divine message.

We pray that the Christmas this year will be an opportunity to renew faith and commitment to the values of tolerance and brotherhood, and that Christmas blessings may touch our people across the world, guiding them toward prosperity and progress. We also implore the Lord for peace to reign in our homeland, Iraq, and in the Middle Eastern countries suffering from injustice, violence, and neglect. May the darkness of the world be dispelled by the light of Christ, who was born to be our peace and the peace of the entire world.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with love, grace, and blessings.
