Christmas

Christmas was Celebrated in the Catholic Church, Rewari.

All the members came for the celebration.

Message:Christmas is the celebration of God becoming man or taking human form. This means God is expressing his humanness in a way man can understand it. This same thought, St. John the evangelist puts in his words, WORD BECAME FLESH. This expression is based on Greek philosophy. The Greeks always reflected and spoke of LOGOS (Gk), means “word” which is a link between God and man who will bring order and arrangements in the world. God cannot be seen or experienced through our senses because God is God. In addition, we experience and understand God’s qualities (godliness) through different human beings and even other creatures like plants, birds, etc.

We see people who are holy, generous, gentle, loving, caring, motherly and so on. These are different qualities of God. And we are very happy with these people. We call them great people [MAHATMA], Saints etc. Why? Because we find God in them. In other words they are the different expressions of God. Let us have a look at them and find how they grew to this stature of their life. To understand this we need to go their beginning itself. If we analyze we will find a lot of preparation even before their birth. The birth of a child is very important because it is god who will be born through a child. And the birth of a child we see as well planned one (Isaiah).

Christmas tells us how God becomes man. And what should be the preparation for a child to be born. God is inviting us to give birth to physical as well as spiritual children. Let us respond to God like the Joseph and Mary in the Bible.
