Too much materialism in the world has weakened the real essence of Christmas, that's of the coming of God our father's son Jesus Christ in our world to save it from our sinfulness and shame.
As we celebrate Christmas in the relative comfort of our homes, let us not forget our brother and sisters deep misery over the loss of loved ones in battle, in accidents; illness or crime those unfortunate in prison. The nine days of simbang gabi that preceded Christmas Day is an actually the best preparation we could give for ourselves to welcome the coming of our savior. The sacrifice of waking up to hear the dawn masses everyday or for that matter staying up late for the anticipated dawn masses in our parishes for nine straight in a way makes us feel closer to the Lord.
Though we may not all have the resources to share with our less fortunate brethren, let us remember them in our prayer and masses this Christmas Day and let us extend little acts of kindness that will help them feel loved and cared for this very important Christian's celebration. For after all, We are God's peoples our Father in Heaven looks at all of us are equally
