A plea for Christmas
UNDER the drive of a hedonist consumerism, Christmas runs the risk of losing its spiritual meaning, reduced to a mere commercial occasion to buy and exchange gifts.
The world’s current economic difficulties might serve as a stimulus for rediscovering the warmth of the simplicity, friendship and solidarity that are the typical values of Christmas.
In the Baby Jesus we see the defencelessness of God’s love: God comes to us unarmed, because he does not intend to conquer externally, but rather to win us over and transform us internally.
When we place the figurines in our Christmas crèche, we should pray to God to grant to our hearts that simplicity that recognises the Lord in the Baby
