A Christmas With Solidarity

Dec 23, 2016

Christmas reminds us that God comes to save us from our egoism and suffering and to make us able to "save" those who are in need. Christmas wishes from Maria Voce.
church-1704815_960_720 Christmas reminds us, along with the Scripture passage that we’ve chosen to live this month, that “He comes to save us” (Is 35:4). Save us from what? Among other things, our indifference towards those who suffer. My wish for you this Christmas is that we may all go beyond ourselves and welcome the other, all the others: those in need, those who have left their own lands because of hunger and war, those who are lonely, marginalized, imprisoned….. My wish for all of us is that after having experienced God’s love that saves us, we will reach out to save those around us. Happy Christmas everybody!

Maria Voce

Jesus invites us not only to listen to it and understand it, but above all to live it concretely every day. By living His Word, we allow Christ to transform the way we think and act, making our lives and the lives of others, fruitful.
