Let us love the Child of Bethlehem. Come souls and love a God who has become a Child, poor and so lovable, in need of our tender love, who has come down from heaven to give Himself entirely to you. If we but ask for pardon and salvation, He has come to pardon us and to save us.

-- St. Francis of Assisi

Remember...Remember... The true meaning of Christmas.

It's not the Santas, it's not the presents under the tree.

It's not the merry-making and the ever flowing liquor.

It is the day when Word actually turn to Flesh.

When God became Man.

When Christ is born, to serve and not be served.

When Jesus save those

who do not submit to discriminating justice and religious persecution,

those who suffered from the ravages of capitalism, racism and class systems.

When the Prince of Peace is born,

giving us a reason to say

"God is with us".

HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND A BRAND NEW 2008!
