What Does Christmas Mean To Us?

Fr. Joey, our Parish Priest shared his time and effort as he conducted an Advent Recollection for both the young and the young at heart, for a better appreciation of the meaning of the season.

Though, it is a good time for more business opportunities and a lot of shopping plus Christmas decorating, we must do our preparation beyond these things, he says.

He reminded us of the basic practice of love as in loving our neighbors, including our enemies. He advises us to look into a deeper indulgence to prayer and good works. He mentioned the works of mercy: the corporal acts and the spiritual acts. He even touched on the 7 Sacraments as a bonus : Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Marriage. He ended the session by leading us to a meditative prayer.

It was indeed a fruitful night for the attendees.

Merry Christmas to all. Prepare, rejoice always and stay awake for we do not know when the exact time shall come.

Thanks Father Joey.
