First off, I would like to greet everyone a Merry Christmas and I hope everyone is having a great holiday at this time. I'd like to give everyone a piece of wisdom about what this occasion is all about.
Recently, I got really hyped with learning more about my faith in God and what it means to be a Catholic - that discloses the fact that I have a religion that I follow yet it is still to my best interest to learn about everything in this world. One of the most important things that is being taught to us by God and His Son Jesus Christ is the application of prayer in our lives. I learned that it we are supposed to pray for each other and not just for ourselves. If it's okay to ask for prayers from your friends, we should be allowed to ask for prayers from our brothers and sisters and why is it that we don't venerate Mary who is all pure and sinless and is given the honour to give birth to the Messiah?
I would like to celebrate this season with honouring Mother Mary.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? (Luke 1:42-43)
Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed. (Luke 1:48)
My main message for this Christmas Day is to not forget about praying for each other. If we pray for peace on earth, keep in mind that it's not just for your own peace but for everyone's peace. Be kind, generous, loving, caring and giving and take care of each other as a family, as a group of friends, as a community, as a nation, as God's followers.
Peace!
