(...) It’s Christmas every time you keep silent to listen to the other person.
It’s Christmas every time you do not accept those principles that push the oppressed to the margins of society.
It’s Christmas every time you hope with those who despair in physical and spiritual poverty.
It’s Christmas every time you recognize with humility your limits and your weakness.
It’s Christmas every time you allow the Lord to be born again, so you can donate it to others.
(Mother Teresa of Calcutta)
This coming Christmas amid the Christmas carols and the smell of the Christmas tree, let faith and trust, love and warmth fulfil our hearts.
This is a special period for forgiveness and reconciliation.
Let all misunderstandings and conflicts brake like Christmas wafer in people’s hands and the Infant Jesus embrace all the hearts and bring us joy and happiness.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a successful New Year 2020!
