Dec 25th, 2023: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

As we remember Jesus's mission in the world, this Christmas Day offers an opportunity to explore various meaningful aspects of His life. Focusing on kindness, compassion, and selflessness can significantly enrich our celebrations.

Kindness involves the conscious choice to provide for others' needs before they even articulate them—a holistic approach to caring for those around us.

Compassion, at its core, entails standing in solidarity with those in pain. Sometimes, merely being present with those who grieve or sacrificing our comforts to ensure others have shelter and sustenance embodies this virtue.

Selflessness presents a pathway to greater freedom by transcending our individual selves. As we untangle from self-centeredness, we embrace more of our connection with God. This pursuit of selflessness ultimately leads to a deeper sense of godliness.

May this Christmas be a time where these virtues guide our actions, fostering a deeper sense of oneness with God, love, and understanding in our interactions with others.

Zechariah 9:9 

"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!

Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!

Behold, your King is coming to you;

He is just and having salvation,

lowly and riding on a donkey,

a colt, the foal of a donkey."
