May Our Spirits Be Open to the True Spiritual Light

Christmas is a celebration of Jesus coming into the world. He came into this world, and died for for all of us – believers and non-believers. His birth should bring us hope.
And let's thank our Blessed Mother, Mary! She carried, in her womb, Christ our Savior.
Because Mary allowed God for this to happen, we can now recieve so many graces.

Christmas is a time to prepare one self for the birth of Christ. The best way to do this is by prayer. Grow in your relationship with Christ. Ask Him if there's anything you need to change.

Think of Christmas as this interior light. A divine light that presents to us the victory of the love of God over sin and death. Everyone has heard of the story of the star and the three wiseman, and how the star guided the wisemen. Jesus is our star. And we are the wisemen.
He will guide us. So, this Christmas, may our spirits be open to the true Spiritual Light.




Another thing:

• "The feast of Christmas coincides, in our hemisphere, with the time of the year in which the sun ends its descending parabola and begins the phase in which the time of daylight increases gradually, according to the successive course of the seasons. This helps us to understand better the subject of light that prevails over darkness. It is a symbol that evokes a reality that affects man's inner being: I am referring to the light of good that overcomes evil, of love that overcomes hatred, of life that conquers death."

• "Christmas makes us think of this interior light, of the divine light that presents to us again the proclamation of the definitive victory of the love of God over sin and death. "

Enjoy this blessed Christmas. Celebrate it with your loved ones.
