"Hi! I greet and bless you all, people who were waiting to celebrate my birth. Dear brothers and sisters, I am Jesus a few days of your time, you will prepare Christians devoted to God, all over the world, to celebrate my birth. With joy, adults and children, in front of decorated trees, a Nativity scenes, but also in the streets and in those places where economic poverty does not affect the faith that grows rather than decrease, as the only consolation in a life so harsh that only by staying united and praying to God you can stand. Dear brothers, dear people of God, I appeal to you: do me a great gift in my birthday, I ask you to remember those who have no shelter when a roof, a wood to keep warm, remember those who did not decorate a tree, but one life to live in uncertain conditions, day by day. Giving up consumerism, which puts you all in a row to look for gifts unnecessary and superfluous at times, and make a great gift to me - Jesus - Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day, but even better, every day of the your life, do something for those who, for various reasons, suffers and is not as lucky as you. If you can not do anything else, dedicated to the poor and needy, that maybe you do not know, a prayer: do not ask you a tremendous sacrifice, right? No, I do not think: a prayer. You know, prayer unites, prayer makes you feel all the same: united against evil and against poverty. Teach your children to spend even a prayer to a child less fortunate than him, who may not have a warm bed when sleeping, a new dress, but dressed in rags, no sweets and toys, but must suffer all day to eat , eat to live. No, I'm not ruining Christmas, but I am asking you to live in a different way: not dominated by money, but happy that we are all united on this day to celebrate my birth, the birth of Jesus, the Son of God
And now that I have expressed my wish for this Christmas, I want to talk about how great God Father. I know, you already know How long its magnificence. But I invite you to consider: Who, who can create life, create your only Son going to oppose all laws of man - earthly laws and those materials of which the man is still dominated, if not a slave. In fact, according to the man, it is impossible from the womb of a virgin birth of a son. Even science itself, so that now seeks to grow the perfect man, can not grow in a life the lap of a virgin, God yes. Joseph felt the same betrayal, if not an angel had appeared to explain what had happened. And with resignation and faith, both Mary and Joseph, have agreed to bring this great gift of God a great responsibility: Do not you think? But they, without hesitation, have put their trust in God and went forward.
How many of you, men and women, would you agree to grow the Son of God, how many of you would trust so much to God by denying their ideas, the way of seeing things, as well as see them all, tell me, how many? I'll tell you: in a few. You know, even the believers - at present - if God did live a story like that of Joseph and Mary would refuse. Why not see, and do not believe, in addition to their eyes and what they feel their ears. No, this is not the faith: faith in God means trusting in God and accept what God gives us, even if sometimes it is beyond our thinking, our reasoning.
Joseph and Mary raised me. And now from my birth the unleashing of evil, he saw me in danger, he gave them plenty to do. Only by hearsay, and just because the people came to my cradle, the tyrant of the time I was a danger. So small and so dangerous! So it was better to kill me. And since no one knew who I was, and how I had done, Herod, the massacre of the innocents, killing all children under two years. Cruel, huh? Do you think that because of war, hunger and disease, children, the powerful will kill so many that he did Herod passes for almost superfluous. And behind all this there is always evil, with his desire for power and domination, which enters the man's physical and emotional fragility by arming his hand, making him feel so above God Today, as then, Who annoys you delete one who is poor and has nothing to offer, and left himself. But if it comes into something worth fighting - and I'm not talking about freedom or a better life, because nobody cares what your power, but money, gold, and anything that can give profit - then yes then you can kill and brutalize. Today, as then, even before I came, the man fighting against man. So I am Jesus, Son of God and - remember! - Of the Virgin Mary, I ask you now: Do you talk about weapons and cease the goodness you end the differences that you have invented, that make you believe that you are not the same just because the skin is different and customs are different - or the traditions are different. You are all children of God, remember this! And who abuses and kills a child of God if God himself will play, and his trial will not be mild, but it will be right.
I, Jesus, I grew up in a family that has given me love and helped me to grow, to move my feet in the world where I was. Remember: a family - the family that many of your children do not have, because you parents have not agreed to sacrifice for one another - the family is the basis of life. And you, brothers who believe in God, you're a big family, with a great Father Almighty, to whom you can always turn with confidence, and trust that makes us live and move those who are in distress and in need.
Please do me this gift, my brethren to pray for the evil in the world to cease, and peace shine; pray that this Christmas, because who has no bread to eat him gifts of God. And if you can, invite the poor to your table and talk to God if you do not know.
Help me and help my father, to bring light into this dark world, and bring peace on earth. It is always done the will of God. "
"Brothers and sisters, on this occasion when we remember the birth of Jesus the Savior, by us and the entire Kingdom, we wish you a Merry Christmas of peace, love and faith. Praise your child
Savior! Glorify God, the Father Almighty, pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary and Joseph, her husband, to gather yourself and the world in a large and loving family. Merry Christmas! "
St. Francis of Assisi.
