Quotes

• Christmas should be for all people, an occasion to rejoice because the message of Christmas is that God loves all of us, so out of love for us, Jesus became man identifying himself with the poor. But He preferred to be born in a manger as a very low state. He became the poorest of the poor that means that God has a special concern and love for the poor people. The divine child in the manger has absolutely nothing even not a place of his own to be born. Through this example, Jesus teaches us that the true greatness of a person lies not in what one has but in what one is. God is the creator of all things but it is not anything of this world that can make him great.
