In a busy world, in a material world, it is very easy to forget the true peace of Christmas. It is a great blessing for us for this important event in one Faith, that God the Father gave us His Son Jesus to save us from sin and achieve Eternal glory in Heaven, after this life.

To have true peace not only in Christmas but all our lives, we must make a fundamental choice, denouncing sin and live a pure life, a life filled with the Holy Eucharist in our hearts, so we can say with the psalmist “taste and see how hood is our Lord”, because our heart is the home of Jesus.

Such a life is not easy, but with the help of God, and a sincere good intention we can live such life, a life that we want nothing else here on earth.

Another point: to feel true peace, is to remember those who are in need, by helping them by all our means, and seeing in them the image of Christ, realising that all we do to them we are doing it to Jesus.

During this time we send greetings and buy presents to our dear ones, let’s put Christ in Christmas, by buying cards and presents with the image of Jesus, the true meaning of Christmas.

In doing all this, we can have true peace in our hearts forever.
