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
