Christmas has always been a magical affair in my family. Relatives come around, we feast over shepherd's pie and cake, everyone is happy. One thing I'm definitely guilty of this year is forgetting the Christ in Christmas. It should have been Jesus' birthday, but the occasion was more for personal merry-making, rather than celebrating His birthday. Well it's too late to be guilty.......... one can always strive to be better (at spiritual life).
During the midnight mass, Archbishop William Goh's homily really struck a chord with me. Christmas isn't about us; it's about a whole new beginning that this Child, laid in a manger, has bestowed upon us. It's about the birth of Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace; there was no room for in the inn for Him and his family, yet from this nothingness, the light of God's glory shines forth.
This Child, whose face radiates the goodness, mercy and love of God the Father, trains us, his disciples, as Saint Paul says, "to reject godless ways” and the richness of the world, in order to live "temperately, justly and devoutly” (Tit 2:12) – an excerpt from Pope Francis' homily.
