Christmas, a time to share goodness and optimism

God, who is all good, all-knowing and all-powerful, often presents Himself through simple people and simple realities. In a world full of negativity, He reminds us, once again, that we are good and that we must optimistically transform this world into a home for all.

The coming of God in Jesus never ceases to surprise us and invites us to find true happiness not in power, status, money or the greed to possess; but in his grace, in love, in caring for the most vulnerable, in generous and free giving.

Through simplicity and generosity full of goodness we can also bring hope, joy and blessings to all, especially the needy and the poor. Let us embody God in Jesus through our humble, positive and bold initiatives.

Keep spreading God's goodness with humility and optimism. Pray for us.

With our best wishes for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
