A Christmas Message

“I shall spend my heaven doing good on earth.”
~ St. Therese of Lisieux (also St. Therese of the Child Jesus)

Went to hear Christmas Mass at the St. Paul University – Dumaguete Chapel tonight because of Kuya Eking. I’ve always been partial to masses he officiates. Hehe…

Anyway, he left us with those quoted words from his homily after he tackled with the congregation the word messiah. A messiah. THE Messiah. What makes a messiah. To be a messiah means to uplift, to liberate, to bring happiness, healing, heaven. Anyone of us can be a messiah. We are not expected to have to die on a cross though. But simple things, little things, not necessarily directly for others but even something like minding where we throw our garbage, our attitude on the streets as pedestrian or vehicle driver…

Let us bring heaven on earth. Let us be a messiah.

Merry Christmas! 🙂
