The True Meaning of Christmas

The whole world celebrates with a big dinner, with many presents, with colorful lights. There is music, parties, there are many things: Abundance, generosity, sympathy, romance in the air, and so much happiness because the day of Love is celebrated.

Ladies and gentlemen, read with great attention: All this, this great party, this reunion so significant among family and friends is a mask, in which, we have truly forgotten the meaning of Christmas. We say that "we are together" that we don't need anything else. But that is not true.

Are the humble, the poor, the miserable, the sick, the crazy, the dying, at our table, maybe? Is the enemy at our table? No!

The fantasy of a happy day is at our table, but many millions and millions of persons will not have that day, they will not have even a piece of hard bread.

Christmas has turned into pure business since we have forgotten about Jesus, we have forgotten about forgiveness, about praying, about sacrifice and about one's neighbor.

The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of Jesus made man, who comes to call and guide us to a bigger celebration, the celebration of the ability of sharing with the needed, with the forgotten because Christmas predicts , call us to the spiritual kingdom.

Things have changed too much, throughout time; let's remove the mask of the happiness of a day and let's make of every day, the happiness of compassion, of selfless friendship and genuine love with our fellow men and with all that exist.

Let's celebrate the true spirit; and every day will be a happy Christmas since love will always be born every day, every moment in our heart and in the hearts of all, big or small, free or slaves, healthy or sick.

We wish everybody the only Christmas, the Christmas of the human family, where we all are brothers without discrimination of sex, color, position or anything.

Jesus is Christmas and Jesus calls you to Love. This Love is not for one day but for ete
ity.
