Once a year we
are celebrating this very special day. A day when our Lord Jesus Christ was
born in a stable, surrounded by farm animals in Bethlehem.Christians and
non-Christians celebrates Christmas as a major festival and public holiday in
countries around the world. Others celebrates Christmas with gift-giving,
decorations and Christmas trees.
CHRISTMAS
, it is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future.
It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and
eternal, and that every path may lead to peace. A
real star was born on Christmas day: Jesus brought light and life into people’s
lives. He inspires those who seek the truth and yearn for love that
lingers forever .The essence of Christmas is spiritual love. The Holy Father
sent His son out of love, and His son preached about pure love. We need to help
spread His message! .. Christmas means a spirit
of love, a time when the love of God and the love of our fellow men should
prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time when our thoughts and deeds and
the spirit of our lives manifest the presence of God.Catholic countries have their special preparation for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the Philippines, majority of people there are Catholic. On December 16 they started their"Simbang Gabi : or Night Mass until Christmas eve. Christmas day is a day when family reunites and exchange gifts while watching their beautiful Christmas tree along with Christmas songs. The spirit behind Christmas is that of giving and sharing.
Christmas
is not for one day. Everyday is Christmas if practice gift giving, love and peace.
Our heart wrapped by darkness learn how
to forgive our enemies no matter how bad they are. Children are excited to received their Christmas presents. But the
most important is let us be a role model to them and explain the true essence
of Christmas - as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time
