Receive the Savior Into Your Heart

The crowd in Bethlehem was too big, everyone was in a hurry to get there for what they thought was the most important at that moment, and that pushed the Savior Himself out of their environment! Getting closer to commemorate the greatest event of the Christian world and getting ready to celebrate the Feast of Nativity, let us not allow earthly things to drown the most important in our hearts, let us give the first place to our Savior, accept Him into our hearts with love, which seeks to help, and console, ease the lives of our brothers.

Among the noise of worldly vanity, which usually comes with big feasts, let us always have the image of Godly Infant before our eyes, so that no one could say we did not have a room for Him within us!

In His name we will do good, setting aside earthly worries.
