I suggest that this Christmas
Comes back Christmas. We will once again put Jesus in a manger, in a stable with many animals around, we will make him an infant and we will lean to smile at them, because we all seem to be easier to smile for children than for adults . We will make him a child and we will see him good, pure, free from error and malice, willing to love everything because he does not yet understand that this love of the world offers only if offered. Do you know why we make Jesus an infant every year? To make it easier. Let's think more about how He is than how we are. It is simpler to look at Jesus and to say that he is a defective little Child than to look at us and in us to see malice, forgiveness, gossip, fingers appealing to others, or repentant faces with which we brag about when one more sinner has the courage to tell us that he has crooked.
I propose that we change this role a little or at least adjust it. Let's let Jesus be Lord, and let us be born. Not in poverty, manger and stable, but in real love with heavenly scent. Let us be born like little children. Honestly, let's say when something is wrong, but with gentleness and tears in the eyes to show that we care about the fate of the other. Forgiving, let the grief and dissatisfaction with the deeds of the other, and enjoy the freedom in the spirit that only forgiveness can offer us so quickly. Good, ready to put our ears listening and arms to embrace. Let's close wounds in hugs and open up new friends through availability. Kinda, let's give our little to anyone. We will never be so poor that we have nothing to offer. Different. Let us be born different. Do not see us above others, more in the heart or in the heart. Let us not look at the church any more like a place where we come to show how holy we are. Let's see the church exactly like what has always been. A hospital for hearts and minds who realize they need healing. Let's not do the doctor, but be assistant. Let's hurry, let go of the alfalfa and change the infusions. The way we get sick and care until the Doctor chooses to come in visit can greatly improve the patient's condition.
This Christmas needs more to be born, than to be born Jesus. Let us be gentle and pure as little children and stay so all our life. We will stop, we will fall, but have the courage to rise, encouraged by the fact that we are surrounded by children who will not laugh at us, but will stretch our hands to regain our balance. To live beautifully, born and reborn in the light of the star that has led us every time to Jesus. Birthday celebrations to holiness!
