This Christmas is being a little bit special. Mobility restrictions in many places are preventing family celebrations and friends' gatherings.

It gives the feeling that it is a Christmas without lights, off, sad ...

Do not let circumstances invade our spirit!

The most important thing is to remember that God became flesh and gave us Hope.

He did it in silence, without fireworks, in the humility of a cave in Bethlehem. But that simplicity does not allude to the greatness of a God made man who brought us Redemption. Almost nothing!

The birth of Christ is a watershed in history. Because the Resurrection of Christ brought us all the Hope of eternal life, without anguish, without mistrust, without covid, without diseases, without fratricidal divisions, without restrictions or confinements. Only the happiness of knowing that we are infinitely loved by God for eternity ...

That is what we celebrate at Christmas. Lights, parties, and gatherings help, but the most important celebration is of our hearts. And that is not going to be stolen by the covid!

Therefore, many congratulations! Jesus was born! He is alive! He has truly risen!

Almighty God decided to become one of us, to assume our weak, contingent, expired flesh.

Since then, everything human has been elevated in dignity, it has been "deified." God wanted to become one of us and suffer with us our anguish, our fears, our illusions, our hopes, our joys. All that human experiences have been experienced by God!

He cried with us the death of a friend, he celebrated the good news with us, he worked with us, he got tired with us ...

Somehow, he made us ‘gods’! He made us eternal because He is eternal. He liberate us from the sin chains. He paid for our misery with his blood and gave us Eternal Life.

This is what we celebrate these days. So, congratulations!

Do not let circumstances destroy our joy and our hope.

Enjoy these days with your loved ones and celebrate -whatever we were allowed- the joy of the birth of the Child God.
