Rev. Fr. David Okolie
Dearest friends, Christmas is the time we celebrate the Coming of Jesus Christ into this world in Love, Mercy, Humility, Peace, Generosity and Righteousness. Thus, Christmas is a time to celebrate VIRTUES and NOT VICES. Therefore, the following DO NOT actually celebrate Christmas:
👉🏼1. Those who hike the prices of goods and services; thus, making it very difficult for people to get those things.
👉🏼2. Those who eat and drink alone; without extending a hand of Charity to others.
👉🏼3. Those who keep malice; without making Peace in order to be ready to receive the Prince of Peace.
👉🏼4. Those who steal from/defraud others thereby taking away their joy.
👉🏼5. Those who indulge in illicit sexual gratification, e.g: fornication, adultery, lesbianism, gay, masturbation, pornography, etc., thereby promoting the work of the devil.
👉🏼6. Those who do not make out time for God within the Season by NOT going for Confession, Holy Mass on Christmas Day (25th Holy Day of Obligation) and on Sundays within the Christmas season.
The list can go on and on. The question then is: Are you among the above or will you be among them before the Season is over?
Please, let your activities/lifestyle within this Christmas Season and always truly reflect the identity of the Child, Jesus Christ. Do not forget that He is the REASON for the SEASON.
Merry Christmas🙏🏼
Remain blessed🙏🏼
